Origin
Summary
The Algonquin Island Bridge, a timber trestle structure connecting Algonquin Island to Ward's Island, was constructed in 1938 and currently serves pedestrians, cyclists, and service vehicles. The bridge underwent extensive rehabilitation in 1998, including construction of a new deck; however, recent bridge inspections have identified some decay in the timber piles and a need for additional repairs or possible replacement.
Due to the age and historical significance of this structure, an Environmental Assessment was required to determine how best to address the condition and rehabilitation needs of this structure. As a result of the Environmental Assessment, which included extensive public consultation, it is recommended that the bridge be replaced in its existing location with a new structure of similar design with new materials, so that it continues to serve all users and satisfy Canadian bridge standards.
The cost of replacing the bridge structure, estimated to be $4.3 million, as well as any required interim repairs, will be funded by the City's Bridge Rehabilitation Program.
