MORDEN/Treaty No. 1 Territory, July 5, 2023- The City of Morden would like to provide an update to the residents regarding the construction schedule for the Parkhill Drive Bridge and Alvey Street Bridge.
Following a recent progress meeting with Tri-Core (the bridge Construction Contractor) and WSP (consultant), it has been determined that the completion date for the bridge construction has been pushed back to September 30th, 2023, due to some design and scheduling issues between the consultant, contractor, and the manufacturer for the manufacturing of precast girders and concrete embankment panels. We understand the impact this may have on our residents and want to assure you that we will keep you updated throughout the process.
Currently, the work for the relocation of utilities at Alvey Bridge is in progress and expected to be completed by July 15th, 2023. As per the revised schedule, Tri-Core is expected to be back on site on July 31, 2023, to start the work at Parkhill Bridge and then move to the Alvey Bridge site, with the final completion of both bridges by Sept 30, 2023.
We assure you that City is taking the necessary steps and doing regular follow-ups with the consultant in accordance with the contract agreement to ensure the completion of the bridges as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this delay and appreciate your understanding and support.
Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We will continue to be available to address your inquiries.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience during this construction phase.
