The Elm Street Bridge between Eastern and Jersey Ridge has been closed to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic pending the completion of an in-depth engineering inspection. The bridge is owned and maintained by Canadian Pacific Railroad; however, the City has been inspecting it annually to ensure that it is safe to use. The initial recommendation from our contracted engineering firm after their onsite inspection today was to immediately close the bridge to all traffic due to significant deterioration of the deck.
We apologize for the inconvenience and will provide updates when they become available.
