Bridge rehabilitation: Flood mitigation repairs
The City has completed flood mitigation work on three bridges situated along Nose Creek, that were in need of important repair work to ensure the deteriorated flood mitigation elements are safe and in good working condition.
Project update - Fall 2025
This project is now substantially complete.
Expansion joint at the Goddard Avenue and Beaverdam Road bridges has been completed, pathway improvements have also been made to improve connectivity along the Nose Creek Pathway and site restoration was completed in Summer and Fall 2025.
Please Note: Some additional work on the Goddard Avenue bridge is now expected to be completed in 2026. The flood mitigation repairs are complete, however there was damage sustained underneath the bridge in Spring 2025 from the fire of an encampment, The City will need to repair those damages next year.
