Notice on Blacks Bridge Replacement

The County of Middlesex hereby gives notice that a submission has been added to the Navigable Waters Registry pursuant to the Canadian Navigable Waters Act for public comment as described herein.


Pursuant to paragraph 10(1)(b) of the said Act, the County of Middlesex has deposited with the Minister of Transport, on the online Common Project Search Registry (http://cps.canada.ca/) and under registry number 6224, a description of the following work, its site, and plans:


Blacks Bridge, which carries West Corner Drive over the Ausable River in North Middlesex, Ontario (see map in the notice attached below), is to be removed and replaced with a new 44 metre single-span bridge. The new bridge will have a total width of 9.1 metres, and will be constructed at the same location as the existing bridge. The design of the new bridge does not result in a permanent change to the navigational clearance at the crossing location.

If you do not have access to the internet, please send your comments directly to the project team members listed below.
