SL1B.JECT:
REPAIRS TO C.P. RAIL (HOLE IN THE WALL) BRIDGE
EAST OF NEWCASTLE VILLAGE
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended:
1. That this report be received for information.
On September 4, 1986, a site meeting took place at the "Hole in the Wall"
east of Newcastle Village to review the proposed bridge repair work. The
minutes of said meeting are attached.
The intent of this report is simply to advise Council that this project will
have significant affect on Highway # 2 traffic for some 10 to 12 weeks
commencing in early October. It is C.P.'s hope that the project will be
completed by Christmas, however, this would require good weather and few job
problems.

Report No. WD -76 -86
The project is basically one of installing tie backs on two out of the four
wing walls. This requires holes being drilled through the concrete wall and
up to thirty or more metres through the fill behind the walls and down into
virgin ground, the placing of reinforcing rods, the pouring of concrete into
these holes and the placing of a steel plate on the outside of the wing
wall.
It is suspected that the original rail line was built on a wood threstle
which is now buried. This may well cause the drilling operation to progress
slower than hoped and could therefore delay the completion of the project
until sometime after Christmas.
Traffic will be guided around the construction site by detour signing. The
detour route will be as you approach from the east, north on Morgans Road to
Concession Road 3, Concession Road 3 west to Regional Road 17, south on
Regional Road 17 and back to Highway 2 (see attached).
Respectfully submitted,
Gordon J. ugh, P. Eng.,
Director of Public Works.
