The Municipality’s Consulting Engineering Team, GM Blue Plan, has been working on a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Bridge inspection of the Riversdale Bridge. This was captured in the Municipality’s 2020 Operational and Capital Budget. Upon a recent inspection, GM Blue Plan found that the degradation of the bridge superstructure was more significant than had been originally believed. GM Blue Plan issued a letter to the Municipality on Monday, May 11, 2020 strongly recommending that the bridge be closed, to vehicular traffic, until further notice. Council approved the immediate closure of the Riversdale bridge at the Council Meeting on Tuesday, May, 12, 2020.

No remedial work is currently planned until after the inspection and Municipal Class Environmental Assessment are both complete. At that time, options and cost estimates will be delivered to Council for their consideration and deliberation. No date for this discussion with Council has been chosen, however staff hope to bring this item to Council sometime in late 2020.

Contact Director of Operations, Gregory Furtney at 519-881-2223 Ext. 134 if you have any inquiries.
