THE HERALD Wednesday March Page 15 Footbridge planned for Bruce Trail An ambitious project to con struct a pedestrian footbridge across a 45metre gap in the Niagara Escarpment on the southern edge of Halton Hills has been launched by the Bruce Trail Association The bridge will be built to span a busy access road leading into the Dufferin Aggregates quarry and will provide a permanent route in the area for the Bruce Trail a popular hiking trail which follows the Niagara Escarpment from Niagara to Tobermory at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula For several years the trail has skirted the north edge of the quarry but now the firm wants to expand its operations which means the trail has to be moved A propos ed new route made possible by the new bridge provides the best possible location for the trail along the brow of the Niagara Escarpment This bridge is the only answer to our problem said Doug Robertson Executive Director of the Bruce Trail Association Without it thousands of hikers families and school children who enjoy the Bruce Trail in this area will have to walk on nearby roads Thats dangerous and not what the Bruce Trail is all about Cost of the bridge is estimated at and an intensive fundrais- ing program is now underway said Mr Robertson It will be constructed by a pro fessional bridge manufacturing firm and will take only a day to in stall But a number of engineering and surveying studies have to be conducted and several government approvals must be obtained The project is the single most ambitious venture ever under taken by the association a volunteer organization which maintains the trail said Mr Robertson The bridge is to be in place along with some of new trail along the scenic escarp ment brow by Oct 31 Anyone wishing more informa
