May 5, 2022, the County of Renfrew issued a media release regarding the Petawawa River Bridge (B203) project. (see a full release in the files below)
May 3, 2022, the County of Renfrew has hand-delivered public notices to the businesses and residents in the area surrounding the Petawawa River Bridge (B203) project. In the files below is a copy of the letter for easy print.
April 13, 2022, The County of Renfrew will be undertaking the rehabilitation of County Structure B203 (Petawawa River Bridge) on Petawawa Blvd. (CR-51), approximately 0.3 km south of Paquette Road (CR-55). The construction project is anticipated to commence shortly on or about May 24, 2022, and is anticipated to be completed in November 2022.
The bridge will be reduced to a single lane of intermittent traffic (alternating directions) for the entire duration of construction and traffic will be controlled with the use of temporary traffic signals at the north and south ends of the bridge. Pedestrian traffic over the bridge will also be accommodated by the use of the existing sidewalk on the east side of the bridge in Stage 1, and a temporary sidewalk on the west side during stage 2 of construction. In addition to the temporary traffic signal and single lane configuration, a short-duration lane width reduction will be required for the installation of important work components. This work will take place at the beginning of construction and will require large vehicles (trucks, busses, etc.) to detour around the bridge. Dates and further details for this truck detour will be provided as soon as they are available.
The General Arrangement and Traffic Staging Drawings are appended to this letter for your information. Please review the drawings and provide any comments related to the presence of the watermains below the deck of the bridge and provisions included in the Contract for their protection during the work. Should you have any suggestions, comments, or questions please communicate these as soon as possible.
These project details have been separately communicated to CFB Petawawa and the local Legion. A letter has also been sent to the Home Front Dental business, located southeast of the bridge.
