Low Level Bridge

[Gronk!]

Rehab is planned to start in the next year or two when I last checked with the COE.

I have no idea when you last checked with COE.

Let us commence an email/social media campaign to Anne Stevenson, Amarjeet Sohi and the rest of City Council.

Not a single car on the bridge in that photo.

It was a statutory holiday, so maybe not a lot of people driving in that area on that particular day.

What the hell is CoE infrastructure doing?

From the project page: (skyrise won't let me hyperlink right now for some reason, but the url is https://building.edmonton.ca/projects/eB-10817?categoryId=all:&tab=list&searchText=)

"The northbound and southbound Low Level Bridges will undergo rehabilitation. Preliminary design is underway and is anticipated to be completed in summer 2023. The project schedule has been extended to perform a more in-debth [sic] condition assessment of the existing structures."

I still don't see anything on the COE website

a more in-debth [sic] condition

Seems like the City has a subconscious harangue with the word "debt" as it creeps into the civic lexicon in suggestive places.

The website I linked usually gets updated first. For example, the 104 street rehab was on there a solid couple months before being put onto the main city website.

Would anything the city is doing to try to detangle the roads in this area be related to the low level?

The rehab project is moving along behind the scenes.

It seems what we have again is a failure to communicate

A moment in history: May 31, 1952

On this day 71 years ago, Edmonton's littlest railway was preparing to see its final passenger train.

...there is the Low Level Bridge, which has spanned the North Saskatchewan for nearly 125 years.

Its age is beginning to show, however. Recent assessments have determined that the bridge is in need of major rehabilitation in the next year or two to extend its lifetime.

That bridge is scheduled for 2024 work.

That bridge is scheduled for 2024 work.

Both ways? As Northbound is rusted past the point of no return and Southbound is only half as bad…..lol

 

[Airboy]

The is no indication that both lanes are getting it. The city just has the bridge.

 

[IanO]

At this point, why would they not use lands just SW to stage a new bridge and literally remove and replace in a few low-traffic summer weeks by swinging in a new truss bridge.

The SB bridge absolutely needs to be their first priority.
