Bridge N-056 Rehabilitation Project
Project Overview
The Bridge N-056 Rehabilitation Project has officially been initiated to restore safe and reliable access on Concession 16 in Normanby, between Sideroad 25 and Baseline, where the bridge crosses the Beatty Saugeen River. The bridge was closed in September 2024 due to a deteriorated deck. While the surface deck requires full replacement, the underlying steel structure is in good condition and will be retained.
Scope of Work
- Removal and replacement of the deteriorated bridge deck
- Preservation and continued use of the existing steel substructure
- Design and construction in accordance with Ministry of Transportation bridge design standards, including minimum axle load requirements
The project is being delivered through a Design/Build tender process authorized by Council.
- Bridge N-056 remains closed due to safety concerns
- During construction, access will continue to be restricted
- Alternative routes should be used; detour signage will be posted as needed
- Updates will be provided to keep residents informed of reopening timelines
- Tender documents will be released and evaluated
- A contractor will be selected to complete the design and reconstruction
- Once awarded, construction planning and scheduling will begin for a late spring/summer 2025 start
