Background
The Bridge Street bridge over the Trent River in the community of Campbellford provides a vital east-west link for through and local vehicular traffic, and pedestrian travel. The bridge is the only high level, public road crossing of the Trent River within Campbellford, and traffic congestion occurs on a daily basis.
Northumberland County and the Municipality of Trent Hills are conducting a study to identify the transportation system improvements that are required to address existing and future roadway capacity deficiencies, improve mobility for the local community, enhance the provision of emergency services, and plan for the time when the existing bridge requires replacement. The recommendations of the study to date are to make improvements to the Bridge Street traffic signals as an interim measure, and in the future, to construct a new high level bridge in the corridor between Alma Street on the west side of the Trent River and Second Street on the east side of the Trent River.
Public participation and consultation with regulatory agencies are essential to this study. In accordance with the requirements for Schedule C projects of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (the Class EA), the County and Municipality is making the following background and current study information related to this issue available for public and agency review:
Traffic Operations Study 1989 - Part 1 - pdf file
Traffic Operations Study 1989 - Part 2 - pdf file
Addtional Bridge Crossing Study 1996 - pdf file
This information is also available at their respective offices during regular business hours (County of Northumberland, Transportation and Waste Department, 555 Courthouse Road, Cobourg, ON K9A 5J6 and The Municipality of Trent Hills, 66 Front Street South, Campbellford, ON K0L 1L0).
