Wilkes Dam Bridge Rehabilitation Project

Background

The Wilkes Dam Bridge is situated at the south end of Dufferin Avenue along the SC Johnson Trail. This bridge facilitates pedestrian traffic over the water intake canal that supplies the water treatment plant. In 2022, an Engineering Consultant inspected and evaluated the bridge’s load-carrying capacity following the discovery of deficiencies in the superstructure. The assessment revealed that the existing bridge could no longer safely support the maintenance vehicles necessary for the upkeep of the water intake canal.

Construction

The rehabilitation work for Wilkes Dam Bridge has been completed and the bridge is re-opened for public use.
