You are all going to just love this one.
Lakeshore Road between Guelph Line and Walkers Line will be closed from July 4 to December for the replacement of Pine Cove bridge.
Pine Cove Bridge replacement: “there is no way to safely replace the bridge in sections to maintain traffic.”
Due to the age of the bridge and the way it was originally designed and installed many decades ago, there is no way to safely replace the bridge in sections to maintain traffic.
Local access will be maintained but detours will be in place around the bridge construction. Signage will be posted throughout the detour route and construction area.
This project also includes road resurfacing, multiuse pathway replacement, Tuck Creek culvert repairs, street lighting upgrades and sidewalk and curb repairs.
More details and timelines can be found here: burlington.ca/lakeshore.
Jeff Thompson, Senior Project Manager explains: “This is a significant project that includes replacement of the Pine Cove bridge, as well as infrastructure repairs to curbs, sidewalks, street lighting and road resurfacing.
“This bridge needs to be replaced as soon as possible. It is showing signs of aging and we need to ensure it is replaced for public safety. We acknowledge the disruption this will cause but we are working as fast as possible. We thank the community for their patience as we work to improve your neighbourhood. ”
