REPORT NO.: EGD-011-14 PAGE 2
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 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, as amended from
time to time, including H.T.A. (Section 123(2)) and the Bridges Act (Section 2).
2.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
2.1 AECOM Canada Ltd. performed the bridge and culvert inspections, and
forwarded two letters dated February 27, 2014 to the Municipality advising of
updated recommendations for load postings based upon their engineering
reviews. Based on this information, two Bridge Weight By-laws have 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
each by-law, must be signed and sealed by two registered professional
engineers.
2.2 At the time of writing of this report, the Providence Road Bridge (structure #
099015) over the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) is closed to traffic due to the
condition of the bridge. CPR has entered into a contract to rehabilitate the
structure so that it will support "CL-625" traffic loadings and it will not require load
restrictions once it is re-opened to traffic.
2.3 A separate by-law was created for the Jackman Road bridge (Structure 094024)
because the load bearing capacity of the bridge will likely be improved prior to the
next update of the weight restriction by-laws, two years time.
REPORT NO.: EGD-011-14 PAGE 3
2.4 Where the weight restrictions calculated by the municipality's consultant and
those requested by the rail authority differ, the lower rating shall be applied.
3.0 CONCLUSION
3.1 To protect the municipality from liability risk and permit enforcement of desired
weight restrictions, the attached by-laws should be approved by Council and then
signed by two professional engineers.
4.0 CONCURRENCE - Not applicable
CONFORMITY WITH STRATEGIC PLAN — Not Applicable

Dear Mr. Bagshaw:
Project No: 60263522
Regarding: Municipality of Clarington—By-Law Regulating Vehicle Weight on Jackman Road
Bridge
We have reviewed the following load limit postings for the above noted By-Law during our recent
bridge appraisal update study completed in 2013.
The Jackman Road Bridge, which was constructed about 1970, is a 19.0m+/- single span structural
steel bailey bridge with a timber deck and a timber wearing surface. The bridge is currently closed to
vehicle traffic. The bridge is in generally good condition with major repairs to the timber decking
undertaken in 2013. Based on our assessment, the bridge is adequate for the following live load
posting.
It is recommended that the load limit by-law be renewed for a period of two years, at which time the
bridge should be re-assessed.
