The bridges spanning McGregor Creek, including on William Street between King and Colborne streets, on Princess Street between King Street and Colborne streets, and on Park Avenue East near Sass Road are all scheduled to be washed on Thursday.

No detours will be posted, so there will be flag persons directing traffic.

“We want to be clearer about the products and services that are part of Facebook.”
