Blessington Road bridge under construction

By Hailey MacDonald Sep 8, 2025 | 9:11 PM

The City of Belleville has contracted Henderson Construction for the replacement of the McWilliams Bridge located on Blessington Rd., just east of Forsythe Rd.

Planned improvements include the installation of a new precast concrete bridge, as well as new asphalt pavement and steel beam guiderails.

These upgrades will ensure a safe and efficient road and transportation system that addresses the needs of residents and businesses.

Construction is anticipated to commence mid-September, and the road will remain closed between Forsythe and Bethany Rds. for the duration of construction. A detour will be put in place and local access for residents will be maintained throughout construction.

This project is expected to be fully completed before the end of 2025.
