Dear Richard,
Keystone Bridge Management Corp. is pleased to furnish herewith the signed above captioned By-law.
The bridges were examined byMr. Boris Mihov, P. Eng. and myself on November 12, 2020. Our
endorsement signatures and seals on the By-law are predicated on the following understandings and
undertakings: ·
6003
The gravelfill between the curbs on this bridge shall be maintained to not more than 15 cm thickness,
and in addition to the 15 tonne load limit signing, the signage stating, "Loaded Trucks Must Occupy

and in addition to the 15 tonne load Hmit signing, the signage stating, "Loaded Trucks Must Occupy
Centre of Bridge" shall continue to be maintained in place. ·
This structure should be prioritized for replacement. Before the bylaw is renewed again this bridge will
require a I.oad test to confirm it~ capacity.

The railings on this bridge are partially failed and completely inadequate. Delineator signs at the south
end of the bridge are strongly advised. This structure should be prioritized for replacement Before the
. bylaw is renewed again this bridge will require a load test to confirm its capacity.

,require a load test to confirm its capacity.
8003.
Load posting signs for20 tonnes shall be maintained. The present TC-54 traffic barrels should be
moved inward so that they are one metre from the outside edge of the curbs. ·
8004,8007,9003
Load p_osting.signs for 20 tonnes shall be installed. The fill on the deck shall not exceed the height of
the curbs. ·
Load posting signs for 10 tonnes are required for the By-law to have force. The consultant that
designed the most recent bridgerehabilitation should review the load posting as well, as it may be
possibl_e to increase the capacity of the bridge subsequent to the rehabilitation.
General
Our signatures on the By-law are not an endorsement of the overall safety or functional adequacy of
the bridges. The missing and inadequate barriers on some of the structures is a very pressing concern
that must be addressed separately by the City of Pickering.
Keystone Bridge Management strives to help you getthe most out of your bridge infrastructure
investment. · ·
