Council Council Defers Bridge Work In Favour of Dufferin Street Fix

Chapleau Town Council's putting off work for a few local bridges.

While this year's budget did account for the work, Mayor Michael Levesque says biannual inspections of the bridges suggested that plan could be delayed in favour of another project.

Levesque emphasizes the work on Dufferin Street is quite important.

Unfortunately, Mayor Levesque doesn't expect the Township to receive the funds for the Dufferin Street project until the fall, so the actual work likely won't happen until next year.
