A Seagrave Bridge notice published by Durham Region on November 10 opens a 30-day opportunity to comment on the proposed rehabilitation’s effect on marine navigation.
The bridge carries Simcoe Street, Regional Road 2, over the Nonquon River in Scugog. The project page locates it approximately 0.55 kilometres south of Saintfield Road, Regional Road 6.
The Region says it has deposited a minor-work notification, description and plans under the Canadian Navigable Waters Act. The Common Project Search registry number is 15811.
How to comment
Comments about navigation effects can be submitted through the Common Project Search registry, using that number and its comment section. The notice also provides a project-manager contact for people without internet access.
The Region says comments will be considered only if received no later than 30 days after publication. Readers should use the official notice for submission instructions and should not include confidential or sensitive information without first contacting Transport Canada.
Design work, not a new closure announcement
The regional project page, last updated October 21, describes the rehabilitation as being in detailed design. It says traffic through the site is to be maintained during construction by staging the work.
The new Seagrave Bridge notice is a navigation notification and comment opportunity. It does not announce an immediate road closure, a confirmed construction start date or a completed bridge. Those details should not be inferred from the filing.
