Johnston Bridge Repairs
Council has approved repairs to the Johnston Bridge. The project will go out for tender in early 2026, with completion expected in December 2026. The bridge and the Riverfront Trail beneath it will be fully closed to all traffic during construction. The closure and project details will be communicated to the community in advance through advertising and social media to help minimize traffic and business impacts.
2026 Early Capital Approvals
Council approved the early capital approvals, giving the Financial Sustainability and Audit Committee more time to review the full capital plan in January and February. Early approval of this budget allows staff to begin tendering and working on the early 2026 capital projects as soon as possible. Changes will still be made to the budget before the bylaw is passed in April or May.
The total value of projects included in this early-approval request is $17.2 million. The largest project is the repair of the Johnston Bridge at $15 million. Other projects include the Johnston/Davie water main, GPS scanner (survey equipment), street lights, auto‑flagging devices, and a push camera for the utilities department.
