Point Ellice Bridge Upgrades

Project status
Wrap up

Project scope

The City of Victoria will be making upgrades to the Point Ellice Bridge (Bay Street Bridge). Work includes replacing the main deck joint that allows the bridge to expand and shrink with temperature changes. Crews will also be improving the 65-year-old drainage system. This project is scheduled to start on February 17, 2026, and is expected to take four months to complete.

Why now?

Servicing critical infrastructure in a timely manner reduces future maintenance costs and preserves the life of the bridge.
