Kinistin Saulteaux Nation Barrier River Bridge Replacement

Kinistin Saulteaux Nation is proposing to replace the existing two span twelve metre long timber bridge crossing the Barrier River along Highway 772 with a single span concrete and steel bridge structure. The existing bridge requires significant repairs and is not designed for hydraulic flows in the area, and in the past the water has overtopped the road. The new bridge will be six metres longer than the existing structure to accommodate 1:50 year design flows. The new structure will be designed for two lane traffic and will also feature a pedestrian walkway to more safely accommodate foot traffic in the area. The bridge will benefit the surrounding area with a life expectancy of 75 years and increased hydraulic capacity.

Construction activities are anticipated to include removal and disposal of the existing timber bridge structure, excavation and grading required to realign and raise the profile of the existing road to improve sightlines and meet hydraulic design requirements, and grading and armoring of the embankments of the new bridge. Waste generated during the project will be transported to an appropriate location off site. The work is planned to be conducted during the winter months to avoid restricted activity timing windows in place to protect fish and wildlife.
