Stretch of Dingman Drive closed for bridge replacement

Approximately three kilometres of Dingman Drive will be closed for at least the next year.

The City of London says Dingman will be closed to all road users between Wellington Road and White Oak Road while workers demolish and replace the bridge.

"Access will be maintained to local businesses and residences, but road users will not be able to cross the bridge during this closure," the city said in a statement.

During the road closure, east and westbound motorists will be detoured north to Exeter Road.

City officials say drivers can check if their commute is impacted by using the Waze app.
