Construction began with the segment between Lindsay and Kinmount, where derooting large pine stumps posed significant difficulty to the labourers. In addition to this, multiple bridges needed to be constructed between the two towns. This included a 200-foot bridge over Distillery Creek, a 500-foot bridge and 3000 foot fill at McLaren's Creek, a $20,000 bridge over the Fenelon River, and a 133-foot bridge over the Burnt River.
