Director's Report to Public Works Committee of May 12, 1981.
Item: WD-63-81.
Date: May 4, 1981.
Subject: Jackman Road Bailey Bridge, Bowmanville.
Recommendation:
THAT the Ministry of Transportation & Communications be re-
quested to extend the loan agreement in respect of the
Jackman Road Bailey Bridge for a further period of two (2)
years.
Report:
The subject bridge was originally loaned to the former Town of
Bowmanville in 1970, for a three (3) year period.
The Ministry of Transportation & Communications granted an
extension to the loan period, for two years, in January, 1974;
further extensions were granted in September, 1975 (one year)
1977 (two-year) and 1979 (two years) . The latter extension
expires in October, 1981.
Since the original loan was granted, several repairs and
restorations have been effected to the structure, in accord-
ance with Ministry requirements resulting from periodical
inspections of the bridge.
It is recommended that, until the Town can determine and con-
struct a permanent access road across the creek at Jackman
Road, the present arrangement with the Ministry of Transport-
ation & Communications be continued.
