Crews replacing the deck of the Mill Road covered bridge are two weeks ahead of schedule, and the town now expects to reopen the bridge to cars in mid-December.
The 1881 bridge closed in September so that its oak deck planks and two floor beams could be replaced. The work is paid for in part by the province's heritage structures fund.
Until it reopens, drivers should keep using the Route 7 bridge. The footpath beside the bridge stays open to people walking and cycling.
