BACKGROUND:
Engineering Services is proceeding with the rehabilitation of Hayward Avenue Bridge. This
bridge is located on Hayward Avenue, west of Courtland Avenue over Schneider Creek. The
Bridge was built in 1960 and is a reinforced concrete deck and precast beam structure.
Past inspections of this bridge indicated that the concrete deck of the bridge is deteriorated and
requires rehabilitation. In 2008, a detailed evaluation was completed in accordance with
provincial regulations. Recommendations were developed for the rehabilitation of the structure,
in order to avoid further escalated deterioration and to maintain the bridge in safe operating
condition.
The project involves the replacement of existing concrete deck, parapet walls, approach slab,
bearings, and converting abutments to semi integral to eliminate the need of expansion joint and
seals and there by reducing future maintenance cost. The project also includes concrete
repairs to abutments, wing walls and addition of new guard rail.
In order to complete the bridge in a timely and cost-effective manner, the streets will be closed
to all traffic for approximately 8 weeks; appropriate detour will be assigned for this period.
