Oxford County will be hosting a public information centre next Thursday, before the construction begins in early May.

OXFORD COUNTY - An information meeting is coming to Norwich.

Oxford County is holding the session for residents to learn more about rehabilitation work on the Oxford Road 59 (Stover Street South) bridge. The public will be able to view plans and speak to Public Works Engineering staff and the consultant design team at the meeting.

The work on the bridge will include, the full removal and replacement of the entire bridge superstructure, including the deck and girders, which will close the bridge crossing to vehicle and pedestrian traffic for the duration of the project. Construction is expected to begin in early May and is anticipated to be completed in October 2026.

During construction there will be multiple road closures, and traffic alterations. They are: Oxford Road 59 from Front Street to Carman Street will be closed to through traffic. Road access between Main Street and Airport Road will be limited to local residents, businesses and emergency services. Two detour routes will be in place for non-local traffic: Detour 1 will route northbound and southbound traffic to Airport Road, Base Line and Norwich Road. Detour 2 will route southbound traffic approaching easterly on Norwich Road to Middletown Line and Airport Road. A detour route will be in place for pedestrians, cyclists and local traffic using Carman Street, Pitcher Street and Main Street West.

The meeting will take place next Thursday at the Norwich Community Centre's 2nd floor, and run from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m..
