The Heritage Bridge at Victoria Park in Kitchener will be closed again for the next two months for further repairs.

The bridge, which is near Jubilee Drive and connects pedestrians to Roos Island, has a fence to stop people using it.

A sign on the pedestrian bridge indicates that the work involves covering the bridge and making minor repairs to the existing steel.

The work is expected to last until the end of the year.

The bridge was closed last fall until last spring for structural repairs.

Heritage Bridge was built in 1896, the same year Victoria Park opened. The website historicbridges.org, run by the Austin, Texas-based Historic Bridge Foundation dedicated to the preservation of historic bridges, says the design of the Victoria Park Bridge is “extremely unusual” and is “perhaps the ‘one of the simplest and simplest’. shortest possible expressions of a cantilever truss bridge.
