Pitt Street Overpass Replacements
|
The two Pitt Street overpasses are located in Cornwall in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. One overpass carries eastbound traffic while the other carries westbound traffic. They were constructed in 1960 and rehabilitated in 1986.
The overpasses are proposed to be replaced. WSP is completing the Detail Design for the replacements. Following Detail Design, the overpass replacements will proceed to construction. During construction, one lane of traffic is proposed to remain open in each direction at all times on Highway 401. Short-term closures, as well as detours for truck traffic, will also be required on Pitt Street. The overpass replacements are following the approved environmental planning process for Group 'B' undertakings in accordance with the MTO Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). |
