Cheswick Drive Bridge Replacement Project

Improving mobility and connectivity for pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular traffic

The goal of the project is to replace the aging Cheswick Drive bridge with a safer, more reliable structure for the community. The new bridge will continue to provide access for vehicles and pedestrians. Because the bridge is the only access point for several nearby homes, construction will be carefully planned to maintain access for residents while minimizing impacts to the surrounding area.

Project History

bridge

The existing Cheswick Drive bridge was built in 1960 and has served the community for more than 60 years. During a 2018 inspection, the bridge was found to be in poor condition due to age and deterioration. Temporary repairs were recommended to keep the bridge safe while plans for a long-term replacement moved forward.
