The rehabilitation of the Paul-Émile-Lévesque Bridge in Casselman is entering its final stages, with the work expected to continue until the end of December.

The United Counties of Prescott and Russell say the project remains on schedule, with several important construction activities still to be completed.

The remaining work includes a final concrete pour, waterproofing, paving and the installation of new guardrails.

A major water main attached to the bridge must also be replaced as part of the project.

The rehabilitation is one of the major infrastructure projects underway in Casselman this year.

The project includes a complete reconstruction of the bridge deck, widening of the roadway, an expanded pedestrian sidewalk, new steel guardrails and additional street lighting.

The improvements are intended to make the bridge safer and improve access for both motorists and pedestrians.

The bridge has remained open throughout construction, although drivers have been dealing with reduced lane widths and other temporary restrictions.

Pedestrian access has also been modified, with temporary sidewalk closures possible during certain stages of construction.

The municipality says updates on traffic restrictions and construction progress are available through Municipal 511.

The United Counties previously announced that the project was expected to be completed by the end of 2026.

With the work now entering its final stages, the current schedule continues to point toward completion before the end of the year.

Residents and motorists are being asked to continue exercising caution around the construction area.
