Traffic impacts expected as former CN Rail bridge over Carling Avenue is removed

July 10, 2025
The project involves the removal of the former CN Rail bridge over Carling Avenue, with associated road rehabilitation including the construction of new paved shoulders Carling Avenue will be closed between Moodie Drive and Herzberg Road from Friday, July 18 to Sunday, July 27 for the former CN Rail bridge removal to make room for a safer, wider Carling Avenue.   The former CN Rail bridge crosses over Carling Avenue approximately 0.4 kilometres east of Burke Road and is no longer in use. Before construction began, Carling Avenue narrowed to pass under the rail overpass with no road shoulders, leaving a reduced and substandard space for motorists and cyclists to pass through.     To improve safety for all road users, the bridge and abutments will be removed, and the road will be reconstructed to provide continuous paved shoulders through the project limits.   Construction is scheduled to be completed by late August and there are expected traffic impacts until then:  
  • Closure of Carling Avenue between Moodie Drive and Herzberg Road between Friday, July 18 and Sunday, July 27
  • A detour will be in place directing traffic to Moodie Drive, Robertson Road, Eagleson Road and Herzberg Road
  • A separate cycling detour will be signed for cyclists to use the Watts Creek Pathway
  • Access to all private driveways and entrances to businesses will be maintained during construction
  Detour signage will be in place, please plan ahead.   For information on bus route detours, residents are encouraged to visit OC Transpo Alerts.   To learn more, go to: The Carling Avenue Bridge Removal Project.

One of Ontario’s largest hospital corporations is taking the unusual step of suing its former chief executive and two senior administrators, alleging they failed to act properly when they were presented with evidence of a procurement fraud. London Health Sciences Centre, which manages three hospitals and more than 15,000 employees, announced two lawsuits this week stemming from an investigation into an alleged $50-million fraud scheme. The hospital network alleges inflated contracts were steered to companies with ties to a former vice-president of London Health Sciences.

Up until two days ago, the residents of the tiny Ontario community of Quadeville had been on high alert. Some children were kept indoors, and parents were on the lookout for a possibly violent and unpredictable creature. The fear stemmed from the discovery of a missing eight-year-old girl on June 24 who had been so savagely attacked, investigators warned residents that they believed it must have been an animal.
