MEDIA RELEASE | THOMPSON BRIDGE REPAIR PROJECT GETS FINANCIAL BOOST FROM THE FEDERAL GAS TAX FUND

Posted on December 4th, 2020

Township of Armour is excited to announce the completion of critical repairs to the Thompson Bridge on Pickerel and Jack Lake Road. These repairs have been made possible through a generous contribution from the Federal Gas Tax Fund provided by The Government of Canada.

The project, which involved significant structural repairs to the foundation of the bridge, has effectively restored its integrity and greatly increase its service life. The Thompson bridge is a critical asset to the township as it is part of the main thoroughfare for seasonal and permanent residents living on and around Pickerel Lake and Jack Lake. Both lakes serve as key seasonal tourism assets to the township, which in turn stimulates the local economies in Armour and neighbouring municipalities.

The project had a total cost of $150,358 for which the Federal Gas Tax Fund provided $97,208. The Township of Armour would like to thank the Government of Canada for their annual support with infrastructure projects through the Federal Gas Tax Fund.
