Morell Rails-To-Trails Structure Replacement

completed

Replacement of an existing 70 metre (230 ft.) long CN Rail bridge structure which is currently used as a recreational walking/biking trail, with a new steel bridge approximately 72 m long and 3.5 m wide, and railing. The project also includes removal and disposal of existing structure and installation of environmental controls (silt fences, straw mulch, silt booms, check dams, retention ponds). The new structure will have a design life of 75 years. The structure requires replacement from a safety aspect as it is structurally deficient. This will enhance and maintain an active lifestyle for residents and to enhance and maintain the nature trails that are provided by the Provincial Rails-to-Trails network.
