Report Overview
The purpose of this Report is to update the by-law restricting vehicle weight on bridges.
1. Background
Municipalities are required by Provincial law to have all bridges and culverts with a span
of 3.0 m or greater inspected under the direction of a Structural Engineer at least once
every two years. Due to the original design of the bridges or the current condition of the
bridges, it is often necessary for municipalities to limit the gross weight of vehicles on
bridges on a temporary, seasonal or permanent basis under authority of the Highway
Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.H.8.
2. Review and Comment
GHD Ltd. performed the bridge and culvert inspections, and forwarded a report to the
Municipality advising of updated recommendations for load postings based upon their
engineering reviews. Based on this information, a Bridge Weight By-law has been
prepared for Council's consideration. Under the new guidelines, the Ministry of
Transportation no longer needs to approve Bridge Weight By-laws. However, once
approved by Council the Engineer's Statement, which is Schedule "A" to the by-law, must
be signed and sealed by two registered professional engineers.
Where the weight restrictions calculated by the Municipality's consultant and those
requested by the rail authority differ, the lower rating shall be applied.
3. Concurrence
The Municipal Solicitor concurs with the recommendations in this report.
4. Conclusion
To protect the Municipality from liability risk and permit enforcement of desired weight
restrictions, the attached by-law should be approved by Council and then signed by two
professional engineers.
