Bridge construction near Bourget, and a long detour around it, will be finished in November.
On Wednesday, September 27, the United Counties of Prescott and Russell announced that the rehabilitation work on the Albert Bélanger Bridge, located on County Road 8 near the former village of Lemieux, should be complete in time for the bridge to reopen on November 17.
“As of our most recent assessment, it appears that the Albert Bélanger Bridge in Lemieux is on track to be reopened in November,” said UCPR Director of Public Works Jérémie Bouchard.
“The rehabilitation work is going through critical phases of the project, and challenges are still possible. We will keep the community informed of any developments,” Bouchard noted. He said every effort is being made to minimize disruptions.
Work began on the rehabilitation of the Albert Bélanger Bridge in February 2023.
