The existing Corbett Creek Bridge, built in 1992, is planned to be relocated and replaced approximately 120 metres north of the existing bridge to meet current design standards and accessibility requirements. The Waterfront Trail will be extended to the new bridge location.
Some of the updates for the Bridge include:
The existing bridge is very narrow, with a clear width of 1.75 metres. The supporting structure of the sewer the bridge is built over cannot accommodate a wider bridge replacement, so a new location needed to be found. An engineering feasibility study determined the best location for the new bridge to be 120 metres north of the existing crossing.
The new bridge spans approximately 80 metres crossing the Corbett Creek and associated wetlands.
The bridge will consist of structural steel trusses, metal railings and either wood or steel decking.
The existing Corbett Creek Marsh Boardwalk, also built in 1992, is planned to be replaced to meet current design standards and accessibility requirements.
Some of the updates for the Boardwalk include:
The new raised boardwalk will follow the existing alignment.
The boardwalk spans approximately 150 metres and will run adjacent to the Corbett Creek marsh edge.
The boardwalk will consist of structural steel trusses, metal railings, and wood or steel decking.
The existing boardwalk has a clear width of 2.25 metres, whereas the new boardwalk will have a minimum 3-metre clear width with additional widened rest areas/viewing areas.
