Argyle Street Bridge Replacement » Uncategorized

Argyle Street Bridge – Caledonia The Ministry of Transportation is moving forward with the engineering and design work to support the Argyle Street Bridge replacement project.

While engineering and design work are underway, the ministry continues to monitor the bridge’s condition with visual inspections, sensors and a maintenance camera.

Load Posting Reduction

In January 2019, signs were installed to advise that the load restriction on the bridge had been reduced to 8 tonnes. Trucks are no longer permitted on the bridge and a signed truck route has been established using Highway 6.

Traffic Signal Installation

Traffic signals are currently being installed at both ends of the bridge to allow for the safe passage of emergency vehicles. To support signal operation, access from Forfar Street onto Argyle Street is closed to traffic. However, access from Argyle Street onto Forfar Street remains open to traffic. The traffic signals and the one-way Forfar Street closure are expected to be in place until the bridge replacement is completed.

Upcoming Repair Work

Additional repairs will be made to the bridge this year to ensure the bridge remains safe and reliable for use by the travelling public, pedestrians and emergency responders.
