Bridge Road Reconstruction

In 2019, the Town began the process of completing detailed design drawings for the reconstruction of Bridge Road from Lees Lane to Sherin Drive. 

Project background

While working toward a final proposal, Council passed a motion at the November 30, 2023 Council meeting. The proposal recommends that green infrastructure elements are the preferred first approach for stormwater management solutions. As a result, staff will further review the opportunities to implement green infrastructure as part of the Bridge Road Reconstruction project. 

Due to this delay, as well as complications arising from the Royal Windsor Drive bridge rehabilitation project, the age of the bridge and gap between evaluations, the decision was made to reevaluate the condition of the bridge over Fourteen Mile Creek.

The bridge assessment was completed during the summer of 2025. It concluded that the Town should replace the bridge instead of rehabilitating it to accommodate the additional bike lanes, sidewalk and guard rail replacements that are proposed.

Scope of work

Bridge Road from Lees Lane to Sherin Drive (approximately one kilometre) will be reconstructed from the present two-lane rural cross-section to a two-lane urban cross-section with on-road bike lanes. 

The project will also include:

• Driveway apron restoration
• New storm sewers, concrete curbs and sidewalks
• Removal of roadside ditches and driveway culverts
• Replacement of the bridge structure at Fourteen Mile Creek
• Topsoil and sod restoration of boulevard areas

Moving forward, the Town will split the work on Bridge Road into two phases, with the bridge over Fourteen Mile Creek as the divide.

• Phase one: The rehabilitation of Bridge Road – Sandbrook Road to Lee’s Lane, tentatively scheduled for summer 2026
• Phase two: The rehabilitation of Bridge Road – Sherin Drive to Sandbrook Road, including the replacement of the bridge over Fourteen Mile Creek, tentatively scheduled for summer 2027
