Project Overview
The Municipality of Meaford has completed the replacement of Bridges 021 and 022, commonly known as the Twin Bridges. These structures are essential for maintaining safe and efficient transportation in the area.
Background
Originally built in the early 1970s, the bridges were closed in 2021 due to safety concerns. Their successful replacement reflects Meaford’s commitment to maintaining safe and reliable transportation routes for residents, emergency services, and local farm operations.
Project Scope
The replacement project involved:
-
Demolition and removal of the existing bridge structures
-
Installation of new, modern bridge components
- Estimated Replacement Cost: $1,032,820
Construction Timeline
- Replacement of the structures began in late fall of 2024 and the roads were re-opened in May of 2025.
