Keewatin Channel Bridge Weight Restriction

The Keewatin Channel Bridge currently has a vehicle weight limit due to scaffolding adjustments.

Vehicles weighing up to 8,500 pounds, including passengers and cargo, may continue to use the bridge via the signalled alternating traffic in the Eastbound lane.

All commercial vehicles weighing over 8,500 pounds must use the Highway 17A Bypass. 

Emergency vehicles and buses are permitted to cross the bridge with the flow of regular passenger traffic, although no more than one emergency vehicle or bus may be on the bridge at the same time. 

For more information, see the Public Notice.

Optional Coverage for Service Line Emergency Repairs

By City of Kenora - Nov 20, 2025

We are excited to continue our partnership with Service Line Warranties of Canada (SLWC) to offer an optional homeowner plan for service line emergency repairs.

This week, you may receive a mailing from SLWC that outlines your responsibilities as a homeowner to maintain the service lines connecting your home to City water and sewer services. 
Inside the mailing, you’ll find details about an optional exterior service line repair plan designed to give you peace of mind and protect you from the financial burden of unexpected repairs. 
You may also want to verify whether your personal home insurance plan includes this type of coverage before enrolling in the SLWC plan.
Check your mailbox for a letter featuring the City of Kenora logo and information about the SLWC program. This mailing is a legitimate offer; it is not a scam.
