City to receive grant for 10th street bridge.

The Province of Ontario announced today that the City of Owen Sound will receive a grant of $3,000,000 to assist with the replacement of the 10th Street Bridge.

"This is great news for Owen Sound and area residents," stated Mayor Ian Boddy. "The 10th Street Bridge is part of the main east-west route through Owen Sound, carrying the highest amount of traffic through the City," added Mayor Boddy.

The 10th Street Bridge also services significant volumes of heavy truck traffic and is relied upon by commercial and emergency vehicles. The funds are part of the 2018-19 Ministry of Transportation's Connecting Link Program.
