NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT HIGHWAY 6 (CALEDONIA BY-PASS) REHABILITATION OF THE GRAND RIVER BRIDGE (GWP #293-99-00)

The Ministry of Transportation has retained Totten Sims Hubicki (TSH) Associates to carry out the Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the rehabilitation of the Grand River Bridge on Highway 6 (Caledonia By-Pass). The Grand River Bridge is located just west of Caledonia (see map below). The proposed rehabilitation works at the bridge are expected to include: • Rehabilitation of the bridge superstructure including the concrete deck, concrete girders, deck waterproofing and asphalt paving; • Rehabilitation of the bridge substructure including piers and abutments; • Rehabilitation of the concrete barrier walls; and • Rehabilitation of the approaches to the bridge. It is anticipated that the bridge will be rehabilitated in stages over one construction season, and that temporary traffic signals will be used to alternate traffic. Construction is expected to take place between 2009 and 2011, subject to the completion of construction on the Argyle St. Bridge and the availability of funding. This study will be completed as a Group ‘C’ undertaking in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities. Group C projects are considered approved under the Class EA, subject to screening for environmental effects and the application of mitigation measures as needed. There will be no public information centre for this project, and formal documentation is not required. If you have any questions, comments or concerns or wish to be added to the project mailing list, please contact one of the Project Managers named below by September 29, 2008: Mr. David LeBlanc, M.
