Constructed to improve the connectivity and safety for both public and agricultural travel, the 167 Street over Whitemud Creek Bridge Replacement project addressed the need to replace an aging and unsafe structure. The comprehensive scope of work included the demolition of the existing bridge and the installation of a new 3-span bridge structure, comprising piles, piers, abutments, girders, approach slabs, and bridgerail. Additionally, the project involved the grading of the streambed and slopes of Whitemud Creek, the installation of heavy rock rip rap, landscaping, and environmental remediation.
One of the notable challenges was performing the complete stream isolation and in-stream work in Whitemud Creek, an environmentally sensitive area. The project also required significant stakeholder involvement, working closely with landowners to widen the bridge into their properties. By utilizing a proprietary formwork system on the pier structure, CWP successfully completed the work within the restricted access period without impacting the creek.
This project, valued at approximately $2.5 million, not only improved road safety but also enhanced access for agricultural equipment. The newly constructed bridge can handle 1/100 year flood levels and provides a safer, wider roadway for the community.
