Victoria Falls (Black River Road) Bridge Replacement
The municipality of Kawartha Lakes is planning for the replacement of Victoria Falls (Black River Road) Bridge. The bridge is located on Black River Road, approximately 12.2 km east of Kawartha County Road 6 in the Township of Dalton, bordering the Township of Digby. Black River Road is surrounded by the boundaries of Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park. The bridge carries a single‑lane east-west traffic over the Black River and is a connecting link between the Townships of Dalton and Digby, which are owned by Longford Reserve Limited.
The municipality has retained D.M. Wills Associates Limited (Wills) to undertake a Schedule “B” - Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Municipal Class EA) for the planning, detailed design and construction of the bridge replacement.
Given the current condition of the bridge, it has been determined that the bridge must be replaced to maintain safe access to the Longford Reserve and Ontario Parks lands.
The City has completed:
- a Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report
- a Heritage Impact Assessment
- a detailed project file documenting all background and selection of the Preferred Alternative for the bridge replacement.
All interested parties are encouraged to review the background documents and Project File, and provide comment(s) as appropriate.
Input on the project will be received until April 5, 2021.
Subject to comments received and the receipt of necessary approvals, the City of Kawartha Lakes intends to proceed with the design and construction of this project.
