This week’s featured image showcases one of the new navigational lights being installed which will operate between sunset and sunrise, or during times of restricted visibility, such as in fog or rain. These lights are one of the most important safety systems so that boaters avoid collision with the bridge.

This week crews continue their efforts installing the refurbished west low speed machinery components, and are fine tuning the east low speed mechanical components.

Electricians are also continuing the installation of electrical conduit in the west control tower, and concrete replacement associated with the new traffic signals will soon be poured.

In this week’s edition of #BridgingForTheFuture Throwback Thursday, today’s photograph showcases the inner harbour, looking southeast, ca. 1915. A rare view of Bridge Street east, the Hotel Loney (later the Clifton Hotel), the Customs House, and the Hillcrest Hotel, later known as the Hillcrest Inn, are visible thanks to the Ian D. Cameron Collection, courtesy of Elgin County Archives.
