For the first time, Glen Abbey resâ€" idents will be able to travel across Oakville, over the Sixteen Mile Creek, without having to access the already busy Queen Elizabeth Way. But improved transportation is not the only positive benefit of this enormous project. 50 LOCAL WORKERS Because a local contractor was used, jobs were provided for up to 50 Oakville workers. "This was one of the biggest jobs we‘ve done," says Stan Kopec, project coordinator for Dufferin Construction, the Oakville company hired on as the general conâ€" tractor. Other work this company has done around town includes streetâ€" work, numerous subdivisions, fixing up the Queen Elizabeth Way over the Sixteen Mile Creek and paving work. In addition, business was given to a local concrete plant. "We used 16,000 cubic metres of concrete which was obtained from an Oakville plant," says Kim Lowndes, construcâ€" tion supervisor for McCormick Rankin Consulting Engineers, the Mississauga company contracted to design the bridge and oversee its conâ€" struction. According to Kopec, there were three major reasons this job was comâ€" plete a year ahead of schedule. First of all, extra equipment was used to Enjoy our sumptuous Sunday Brunch in the unique setting of Glen Abbey Golf Club Restaurant overlooking the 18th hole.

Mondayâ€"Friday 11:30 a.m.â€"2:00 p.m. Glen Abbey GOLF CLUB RESTAURANT Catering to All Occasions! 1333 Dorval Drive,Oakville ENVIRONMENTAL s An important aspect of this project is that it was designed to have a miniâ€" mum impact on the surrounding enviâ€" ronment. It was constructed in segâ€" ments and built from the air, a unique technique referred to as Cantilever Segmental Construction. In fact, it is the first bridge of this magnitude and is only one of four segmental bridges in Ontario. The new Burlington Skyway, the Burnhamthorpe Bridge over Etobicoke Green and Highway 406 at the Queen Elizabeth Way are the other three. In simplified terms, here‘s how Kim Lowndes explains the way Cantilver Segmental Construction works. At the deepest section where the creek is located, a pier was built and the bridge was built in sections, east and west, one section at a time across the pier. this allows the work to be done primarily in the air so that there is no need to clear land for supâ€" port work. This means when golfers at Glen Abbey Golf Club reach the 14th hole, which is just a short distance away form the bridge, they won‘t see a valâ€" ley cleared of its trees with a bridge as the primary sight. Instead, the view will be of a ravine with lots of trees and a bridge.
