 Project Description

Gillies Bridge is located on Sideroad 3, just west of Grey Road 29, and runs over the beautiful Big Head River. The structure consists of a single span, concrete rigid frame structure with a total deck length of 16.3 metres and a 7.3 metre wide driving platform between the curbs.

The project consists of full removal and replacement of the bridge structure including roadside safety devices, and traffic control. Due to the nature of the work, this project required a full road closure for a large portion of the project length and a detour was in place.
