James Street Swing Bridge Reopening
08 Noviembre 2019 - 2:30PM
CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) is pleased to announce that the repair
work on the James Street Swing Bridge is complete and that the
bridge will be reopened to pedestrian and vehicular traffic in both
directions on Saturday, November 9th 2019 at 10:00 am local time.
“CN is pleased that the bridge is reopening and
that this important road link in Thunder Bay is once again
accessible to the public,” said Olivier Chouc, vice-president of
Law at CN. “The leadership of Chief Peter Collins was instrumental
in getting to where we are today and we would like to thank him for
his commitment to the greater good of his community.”
“I would like to thank CN for collaborating with
our community to reopen the bridge,” said Fort William First Nation
Chief Peter Collins. “For our community, this bridge is an
important link with Thunder Bay and having it reopened is key to
economic benefits and access to services.”
The Bridge had been under repair following a
fire on October 29th, 2013. The driveable lane width remains
unchanged at 9.33’. The speed limit will be maintained at 20 km/hr
with load carrying restriction of 15,000 kg across the bridge. The
sidewalk has been widened to accommodate the lost width resulting
from the addition of the protection barrier between the roadway and
sidewalk to improve the safety for both vehicles and pedestrians
using the bridge. The handrail has been modified to match railing
height of 1.4m to meet current safety requirements.
