Kinsmen Bridge Replacement Project Update

The Town would like to advise Residents of a revised timeline for the completion of the Kinsmen Bridge Replacement Project and associated trail restoration.

The Contractor has confirmed that their structural component supplier has experienced longer than anticipated manufacturing and production timelines at their facility.

Following a recent plant review meeting, the supplier committed to delivering the structural components in phases, allowing installation work to proceed as materials begin arriving on site. The updated delivery timing has been incorporated into the Contractor’s revised project schedule.

Under the schedule issued in December, bridge installation, trail restoration, and site demobilization were anticipated to be completed by mid-March 2026, with final sod and seeding to follow as weather permitted. Based on the updated schedule submitted last week, these construction activities are now expected to be completed the first week of May 2026.

Final restoration activities such as sod and seeding will remain weather dependent and will be completed as soon as conditions allow.

The Contractor has confirmed that any additional costs associated with the schedule change, such as crane rental or remobilization, will be borne by the Contractor and their supplier and will not be the responsibility of the Town.

As a reminder, complimentary T-GO bus service (to and from Stops 27 and 32R) will continue until the bridge is reopened.

Also, please recall that the Veteran’s Memorial Walkway and north end of Participark Trail remain closed to the public.

The Town appreciates the Community’s patience while this important infrastructure work is completed and will continue to provide updates as the project progresses.
