Bridge Infrastructure Master Plan

The Municipality of Arran-Elderslie is planning to undertake a Bridge Infrastructure Master Plan which will identify future infrastructure needs associated with a group of older bridges distributed throughout the municipality. The bridges, which were constructed between 1910 and 1950, require significant rehabilitation or replacement in the next 5 to 10 years and, as a group, represent a significant capital commitment for the Municipality. The Master Plan review process will consider a range of factors associated with each bridge, including current and anticipated traffic volumes, capacity, local and regional transportation linkages, expected replacement cost, and potential heritage value. As an outcome of this process, one or more of the structures being reviewed may be identified for removal and/or permanent retirement from vehicular traffic. A map showing the location of the bridges that are included in the study is found in the Document section along with the Notice of Study Commencement.
