Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli has announced nearly $1.3 million in provincial funding under the Connecting Links program to repair Mattawa’s Pont Mauril Bridge.

He says Mattawa has been long awaiting this funding for the rehabilitation of the bridge so this is an exciting day for the whole community.

Mattawa Mayor Dean Backer says the funding will provide for a safe crossing of the Mattawa River and extend the life of the bridge.

The province says the 2020-21 Connecting Links program will support 24 municipalities across the province to help them build, repair or replace municipal roads and bridges that connect two ends of a provincial highway through a community or to a border crossing.
