Bridge Weight Restriction and Alternate Truck Route for Walkerton Bridge Project

Please take notice that Bruce County’s Transportation and Environmental Services department will be implementing two Alternate Truck Routes (ATR) on Friday, February 16, 2024 related to the Durham Street Bridge in Walkerton, Ontario. These ATR’s will facilitate the continued movement of truck traffic during a bridge weight restriction period on the Durham Street Bridge until rehabilitation/repairs are made to the bridge.

The weight restriction would be a 3-level load limit which differentiates various heavy truck types by the number of axels on the truck or trailers and permits a maximum vehicle weight. The recommended weight restrictions would apply to vehicles greater than 15, 25, and 30 tonnes, with corresponding axels.

Advanced warning signage for the ATR’s will be placed strategically ahead of the bridge to divert heavy truck traffic from passing over the bridge.

A North Map and a South Map of the Alternate Truck Routes are attached to this notice.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we complete this important infrastructure work in Bruce County.
