The RM of LeRoy is receiving $272,525, which will be used to replace two large bridges with culverts on the LeRoy access road to Highway 6.
“The bridges were in bad condition and [weight] restricted recently, so the funding will be well received,” said Wendy Gowda, the RM’s administrator.
“There’s people that are pretty anxious that the road be put back to full weight, so they’ll be really happy to hear that there’s a plan.”
As a result of the weight restriction, Gowda said even small agriculture loads have had to detour around the bridge.
“We don’t have the agreements yet. We’re hoping the agreements will be in place and a design can be done, but realistically it could be a 2022 project by the time we get the paperwork and everything in order.”
