Damages To Bridges Cause Perth County Road Closure

Perth County OPP have closed Perth Line 81 after a single-vehicle crash in North Perth.

Two small bridges along Perth Line 81 have been closed following damage caused during the collision.

A farm tractor travelling eastbound attempted to avoid an oncoming vehicle when it struck a section of railing along one of the bridges. No injuries were sustained, and the railing was removed.

Both have been closed, pending engineer inspection on August 21.

For safety reasons, motorists are asked to respect the road closure. Perth Line 81 east of Perth R.d 164 will remain closed until further notice by the municipality.
