CITY OF BRANTFORD - The Brant’s Crossing Bridge in Brantford, Ont. will be undergoing rehabilitation work that includes replacing the existing superstructure with one that is more versatile and accessible to pedestrian and cyclist traffic through a wider deck.
The city retained engineering firm WSP Canada Inc. to design the project, with $550,000 budgeted for design and $6.5 million budgeted for construction. “The Brant’s Crossing Bridge is an essential pedestrian and cyclist link between the west side of the Grand River and Brantford’s downtown core and is critical for maintaining safe and accessible active transportation routes in this part of the city,” said Jennifer Elliott, director of engineering services with the City of Brantford.“The new bridge, which will sit 1.5 metres higher than the current structure, addresses future flood and ice jam risks, ensuring longer-term resilience.
The city had planned to reach out to artists to include pieces of the current structure, but “the art piece has been removed from the approved increase. There are no next steps,” said Elliott, following council’s vote in favour the project, but the removal of the sculpture at a recent council meeting.
It is a key pedestrian transportation corridor, linking Brantford’s west side of the Grand River to the east.
