The aging Arlington Bridge in Winnipeg is set to be decommissioned, with work expected to commence on June 1, 2024. Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham announced that the bridge, which has been in use since 1912, will be removed as part of a project to design a new, safer, and more accessible bridge. The Arlington Bridge was permanently closed in November 2023 after a study revealed it was in poor condition and beyond repair. The City Council has allocated $17 million for the bridge's removal and an additional $5 million for the design of its replacement. The decommissioning process will unfold in two stages, with the first stage focusing on the south portion of the bridge, extending from Logan Avenue to midway into the Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Yard. This initial phase is expected to last six months, during which traffic will be impacted, but no full road closures are anticipated. The second stage of the project is scheduled to begin in 2027, targeting the north section of the bridge at Dufferin Avenue.
