An old bridge spanning Mark Creek in downtown Kimberley is being closed permanently because of structural issues, the City of Kimberley announced this morning.

Effective Thursday, August 28, the Mark Street Bridge will be closed permanently (located between B&B Glass and Deer Park Avenue), the city announced.

“The city’s bridge engineer (Associated Engineering) has advised that this bridge is not structurally sound. The city has been monitoring the bridge to keep it open for as long as possible; however, it has now reached the end of its life for vehicular traffic. The bridge will be cordoned off but still usable for foot traffic and biking,” the city stated in a social media announcement.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Operations & Environment Services at 250-427-9660.
