Northumberland County will begin the rehabilitation of the Burnley Creek Bridge, located on County Road 25 (Dominion Street) in Warkworth, starting on August 6.
Burnley Creek Bridge, a single-span, two-lane rigid-frame structure, constructed in 1959, will undergo extensive restoration and rehabilitation. The scope of work includes:
- Replacement of existing concrete handrails and curbs with new metal railings.
- Replacement of guardrails.
- Waterproofing and refurbishing the bridge deck and approach.
- Repairing concrete on the bridge structure and installing new deck drains.
- Restoring embankments with rock protection to prevent erosion.
Construction is expected to last approximately 10 weeks.
The bridge will be closed to all traffic, and a detour route will be in place via Old Hastings Road and County Road 29 (Mill Street).
The project is a key component of Northumberland County’s comprehensive Asset Management Plan, which details information about core infrastructure assets—including roads, bridges, large culverts, retaining walls, and storm sewers—and guides investment decisions to maintain and upgrade the County’s 503 kilometres of road and 112 structures.
