RECOMMENDATION:
That Tender T12-057 – Bridge Rehabilitation – Wabanaki Drive Bridge over Schneider Creek,

BACKGROUND:
Engineering Services is proceeding with the rehabilitation of Wabanaki Drive Bridge. This bridge
is located east of Manitou Drive on Wabanaki Drive over Schneider Creek. It was built in 1978
and has a reinforced concrete deck and precast concrete I-beam girder with an asphalt wearing
surface.
Past inspections of this bridge indicated that some elements are in fair to poor condition and
require major rehabilitation. In 2011 a detailed deck condition survey was completed and
recommendations were developed for the rehabilitation of the structure, in order to maintain the
bridge in safe operating condition and to avoid further escalated deterioration.
The project involves replacement of bridge parapet walls, concrete repair, water proofing and
repaving of the bridge deck and replacement of expansion joints as per bridge design code
requirements.
In order to carry out these improvements, a single vehicular lane will remain open both ways on
the bridge to accommodate eastbound/westbound traffic on Wabanaki Drive. Pedestrian access
will be maintained to all properties at all times.
