Queen Street Bridge located between Main Street and Prospect Street will be closed to pedestrians and vehicle traffic as of March 17, 2025 until December 2025 as part of the Queen Street Bridge Rehabilitation Project as previously mentioned in February 2025. The Town of Newmarket is asking the public to review the detour map, plan your routes ahead of time and prepare for the closure.
As a reminder, the rehabilitation of the Queen Street Bridge was identified after regulatory structural inspections of the bridge determined that the bridge required rehabilitation. Work on the project began in 2023, with Phase 1 focused on utility relocation work by Bell Canada, completed in 2024.
What can the public expect?
Access to businesses and residential areas:
Access to businesses and residences will remain open during the bridge road closures.
Properties west of the bridge: Access via Main Street South.
Properties east of the bridge: Access via Prospect Street.
Emergency vehicle access will always be maintained.
Typical working hours: Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with weekend and night work as needed.
Residents and businesses in the area may experience dust, noise, and minor vibrations during construction. Newmarket and Alliance Verdi Civil Inc. will take measures to minimize these inconveniences.
Residents will be notified of any temporary restrictions, such as curb, driveway, or sidewalk repairs.
The Town is committed to maintaining safe and reliable infrastructure for our residents and businesses. As part of this commitment, once this project is complete, the bridge will improve safety and accessibility for all users, align with Metrolinx’s planned expansions of the railway, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
