Culvert widening at Motor Vehicle Test Centre (MVTC)

Project summary:

Transport Canada will build a new Heavy Vehicle Laboratory (HLL) at the Motor Vehicle Test Centre (MVTC). A dedicated and temporary access road will be built to access the construction site of this new laboratory with minimal operational constraint, minimal risk to user safety and minimal risk of breach of confidentiality of activities. This temporary access road crosses a ditch through a culvert that has already been in place for several years, but whose width and bearing capacity are insufficient. The project involves widening this culvert and constructing a gravel road to cover it.

The project consists of widening this culvert (as well as a second, of the same size as the current one), and to build a path to cover it. The project is located on crown land.

The project involves widening a portion of the road and changing two existing culverts. These will be completely removed from the water and then replaced by new ones (one being larger and both in a different axis). The dimensions of the first culvert is estimated at 1500 mm in length by 3000 mm in width. It will be buried halfway up according to hydraulic calculations.  The second culvert will be the same dimensions as the current one (900 mm).
