Port Hawkesbury posts Granville Bridge repair tender, bids due May 21

The Town of Port Hawkesbury has posted a tender for the granville bridge repair project, moving the work a step closer to starting. Submissions are due by May 21, and the town plans to review them before awarding the project.

The bridge is a two-lane crossing, and the town says repairs are intended to bring it back into service sometime this summer. It also plans to finish the work this year.

Once the tender process is complete, the town will review the submissions and award the project. Work will begin after that award, with the bridge repaired and reopened under the same traffic control arrangements already in place.

For drivers and other regular users, the immediate change is not a reopened crossing but a formal start to the contracting process. The deadline gives bidders a firm target, and the town’s timeline points to repairs progressing through the summer rather than lingering into next year.

The bridge remains out of service while the repair plan moves forward. The town’s timeline ties the project to a reopening later this summer, which is the clearest marker available for people waiting to use the crossing again.

The town also announced a delayed opening of the tennis courts on the recreation grounds because of scheduled repairs. That adds a second construction-related change in town facilities, but the bridge project remains the main item with a fixed public deadline.

For anyone affected by the closure, the practical takeaway is straightforward: the process has entered the bidding stage, May 21 is the next hard date, and traffic arrangements are not set to change during construction.
