The men worked on the bridge all summer and fall. Dominion Bridge and Diamond Construction were given contracts. They were to repair the bridge. They worked long hours.

At last on December 19, 1984, the bridge was once again reopened. Hopefully this will be for the last time. Relatives of the Morrissy Family were present for the opening. Speeches were made and the ribbon cut. Thanks went out to Dominion Bridge and Diamond Construction for a job well done.

The Morrissy Bridge was first opened as a horse bridge. That law has not changed to this day. The bridge is now used for trucks and cars. The Morrissy Bridge had had its share of problems. The ‘Grand Old Lady’ had served us well. We hope that she will continue to do so for many years.
