CBC
Demolition of Kitchener's Frederick Street bridge is underway in order to prepare for work on a new Highway 7 between Guelph and Kitchener.
Lanes on Hwy. 7/85, also known as the Conestoga Parkway, were closed in both directions starting at 10 p.m. on Saturday to allow demolition work to begin.
Northbound collector lanes have already opened, while northbound and southbound express lanes, along with southbound collector lanes, remain closed. They are expected to reopen by approximately 6 p.m. Sunday when demolition work is complete.
Frederick Street is expected to remain fully-closed until November 2026 while a replacement bridge is built.
Early plans for the new highway include four lanes, seven interchanges between Kitchener and Guelph, a multi-level connection to Highway 85 and a new crossing to the Grand River.
The new Fredrick Street Bridge is anticipated to be completed in June 2027.
