The City of Ottawa may be forced to consider heavier protection to block access to the disused Prince of Wales railway bridge after vandals broke through new fencing in a matter of hours Tuesday evening.
Trespassers were seen on the bridge later in the evening, according to social media.
The fencing was put up to deter trespassers, as the city grew increasingly concerned about liability issues.
The city was initially planned to spend more than $250,000 to erect solid gates on the property, but relented after a public outcry and set up a lower-security blockade, costing about $46,000.
The city bought the bridge almost 10 years ago with the idea of using it as an LRT extension, but Transport Canada regulates the structure and warned the city last year it expects the city to permanently barricade the structure to ensure public safety.
The new $42,000 Prince of Wales Bridge gate has already been breached by somebody lifting one side of the gate off the hinges. WAYNE CUDDINGTON / POSTMEDIA
