Iron Bridge Aerodrome

The aerodrome was privately owned and operated. While no single official reason was publicly cited, the closure is consistent with common reasons for small, private airfields. These typically include private landowner decisions related to the sale of the property, prohibitive costs of maintenance and insurance, liability concerns, or the owner's retirement or change in personal circumstances. It was not closed due to a specific accident or for military conversion.

The site is no longer a registered or operational aerodrome. Based on current satellite imagery, the property remains a large, open field, and the distinct, straight outline of the former turf runway is still clearly visible. The land appears to be well-maintained as part of a private residence and is likely used for agricultural purposes, such as a hayfield. The buildings that were once associated with the airfield, possibly a hangar and a residence, are still present on the property.

Iron Bridge Aerodrome was a small, private general aviation facility. Its primary role was to serve the needs of its owner and potentially a few other local pilots with permission. It featured a single turf runway (designated 10/28) with dimensions of approximately 2600 feet by 100 feet. Operations were restricted to small, light aircraft, such as Cessna 172s or Piper Cherokees, suitable for landing on a grass strip. As a 'Prior Permission Required' (PPR) field, it was not open to the public for general use. Its historical significance is local, representing a grassroots aviation facility that provided private, recreational air access to the rural area of Iron Bridge, Ontario.

There are no known official plans, proposals, or public discussions regarding the reopening of the Iron Bridge Aerodrome. As the land is privately owned, any potential for reopening would depend entirely on the initiative, investment, and desire of the current or a future landowner to meet Transport Canada's standards for recertification. Given the long period of closure and its private nature, the prospect of it reopening as an aerodrome is considered highly unlikely.
