Schedule ‘B’
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
Structure G-044 Bridge, Northline Road
Notice of Project Public Information Centre and Open House
The Project:
The Municipality of West Grey (West Grey) initiated a Schedule ‘B’, Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) to investigate alternative options to address the advanced deterioration and present condition of Structure G-044 bridge, located on Northline Road approximately 0.35 km east of Glenelg Road 23 and 13.5 km northeast of the community of Durham over the Saugeen River. “Structure G-044 is in a state of disrepair and recent 2022 OSIM inspection indicates there is severe concrete spalling and disintegration to multiple bridge components and therefore, recommended for replacement to reduce the risk to bridge users and maintain public access to Northline Road” (Problem Statement). During this Study process, all reasonable alternatives are being considered including: 1) Do nothing; 2) Replacement with a single or narrow 2-lane concrete span structure; 3) Replacement with a single or narrow 2-lane wood or modular steel structure.
The Study Process:
The Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) is to identify, evaluate, and establish a preferred option and make recommendations to address the replacement of Structure G-044. The project is being organized to follow the planning process established for Schedule ‘B’ activities under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Municipal Engineers Association, March 2023).
Public Involvement:
Consultation with the public, interested stakeholders, Indigenous communities and regulatory agencies is an essential element and a key component in the planning process.
