Kinsmen Bridge project delayed

The reopening of the renovated Kinsmen Bridge has been postponed to early 2026.

A report presented to Tillsonburg council on Monday, Dec. 8 stated that while the replacement project for the Kinsmen Bridge is still on schedule and within budget, its reopening has been pushed back from this month to March 2026.

Carlos Reyes, Tillsonburg’s director of operations & development, informed councillors that complications with bridge supports led to the delay as designers and consultants discussed what needed to be done.

“By the time that we got to an agreement with what was needed for the bridge and submitted all the information to the supplier, that was going to create a significant delay of two to three months,” Reyes said.

“It’s unfortunate. Having said that, it was a very aggressive timeline for completion of a project of that magnitude.”

Reyes added that staff don’t expect any further issues at this point.

A report from Leo Ferreira, manager of engineering, mentioned that progress on the project is going well and staff are continuing routine management activities and controls.

The report pointed out that pier s are expected to be ready by late January due to ongoing manufacturing processes.

As work is set to continue into next year, a temporary pedestrian crossing along with a three-way stop at Baldwin Street and Wilson Avenue will remain permanent until further notice.

Reyes shared that since August 2025 there’s been increased ridership on T: GO bus service offered between Stops 27 (Wilson) and Stop32R (Hickory).

The staff is also collaborating with members of the Bridge Street Reimagining Task Force about relocating parts of the old tower along Veterans Memorial Trail west of Rolph Street.

Town crier gets a raise

Brenda Bozso, who has served as Tillsonburg’s town crier for three decades, will receive an increase in her pay rate.

Since starting her role in1995, Bozso had received $50 per appearance at town-sponsored civic events.
