On Wednesday, September 16th, the Port Carling Lift Bridge will be reduced to a single lane of traffic to allow for a structural inspection. 

Travel and access in the area will be impacted, with possible delays for commuters due to the single lane closure. Please plan ahead to account for increased travel time through the area. 

Thank you for your patience as we complete the required work and keep crews safe. 

Knowing which number to call helps ensure the right response when you need the Muskoka Lakes Fire Department, while keeping 911 available for emergencies where every second counts.

For emergencies, call 911. For fire-related situations that require Fire Department attention but are not an immediate emergency, call 705-909-0001.

If you are unsure whether a situation is an emergency, call 911.
