Boaters will have an extra week to get out on the lake due to a delay in the The Second Street Bridge project  in Algoma.   Nautical traffic was to be closed for the season as of this Sunday as contractors finished putting false work that would limit the clearance under the bridge.  Matt Murphy, public works director, explains the reason the waterway will now remain open until September 22.

The Second Street Bridge project which began earlier this summer is still expected to be completed by early November.
