A footbridge spanning the Moira River in Belleville will be demolished and replaced with a new pedestrian bridge.
The $2.9 million tender was awarded to construction firm Demathieu & Bard Inc. and demolition work started last month and is expected to last until September 2022.
The existing Catharine Street Footbridge will be replaced with a new wider structure capable of accommodating pedestrians, cyclist and light service vehicles and will include:
- Demolition of the existing concrete bridge and construction of a new bridge at the same location
- The new bridge is a two steel tied-arch span structure with decorative colored LED lighting and landscaping
- The east bank where small trees are removed as part of construction will receive new vegetation-enhanced armour stone walls which will lead to an enhanced fish habitat and improved aesthetics
