Province Advises of Aberdeen Bridge Decommissioning
Manitoba Municipal and Northern Relations confirms that demolition of Aberdeen Bridge and permanent closure of Quarry Bay Road in the Millwater area of Lake Athapapuskow cottage subdivision will begin by the end of October and is expected to be completed in November, weather permitting.
The official notice of the bridge and road closure was issued in December 2023 due to safety concerns. A public notice has been posted at the quarry road since the road was closed. A tender has been successfully awarded for the decommissioning of the bridge and road. To ensure continued safety, the public is advised to not approach the work site while the demolition process is in progress.
Municipal and Northern Relations continues to collaborate with the Little Athapap Cottage Owners Association along with cottagers and local residents to ensure a suitable alternate access point for local residents in the remote Lake Athapapuskow cottage area near Millwater.
Questions or concerns about this project may be directed to the Department of Municipal and Northern Relations via MNRCottageAdmin@gov.mb.ca.
