SJ?,AH`ORTII, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, ]MARCH 31, 1960
dewGrieve's e
to be This • Year
Plans are almost complete for
building a new bridge over the
Maitland River on the county
road, 214, miles north of Seaforth
tine smuttier.
J', W. Brituteil, county engineer,
said on Wednesday the new
bridge: will he located roughly
1,000 feet westerly from the vela -
ing bridge anal will eliminate the
dangerous turns, going almost.
straight north and south.
The bridge will be 136 feet in
length and have three spans,
continuous T -beam, reinforced
concrete construction. The esti-
mated cost is 550,000 to 560,000.
The bridge will be unique in
the county, and possibly in l.hiti
part of the country, because it
will be founded on narrow steel
I-shapecl piles, driven 20 to 30
feet into the ground, This is to
overcome an underground water
condition.
When boring tests were macre
for footings, artesian water was
encountered at a depth of seven
feet, under such heavy pressure
that it spurted 22 feet lute the
air, a most unusual pressure.
One way of overcoming this
problem would be to put in large
pipes and drain off the water.
However, to avoid the possibility
of lowering the surrounding wa-
ter table and causing wells in the
vicinity to go dry, it was decided
to drive narrow piles deep into
the ground. This would not inter-
fere with existing water condi-
tions, and not let the artesian
pressure aft',
Plans have been delayed some-
what by the water and founda-
tion problems. The concrete
piers and abutments above the
piles will be of normal construc-
tion and the bridge will have a.
30 foot width on top.
In order to shorten the length
of the bridge, there will be three
very slight curves, almost un-
noticeable to traffic. This will
considerably reduce the cost of
the bridge, crossing the river at
a 35 degree angle.
The bridge is being built by the
County of Huron, with the Prov-
ince of Ontario paying the usual
80%.
Word is expected any day from
the Department of Highways,
whether the road from Kippen to
No. 86 Highway north of Brus-
sels, will be reconstructed as a
development read.
County officials felt that by
going ahead with the bridge con-
struction, it would better the
chances of securing the develop-
ment road.
The old Grieve's bridge, ,)built
in 1927, runs east and west:
Township Clerk J. M. Eckert
recalls that he was a member of
the township council at that
time and had• urged that the
bridge be built 20 inches higher
than the old steel bridge. Instead,
the bridge level had been lower-
ed 20 inches, increasing the grade
on the hill by 40 inches.
Township officials expect that
the odd Grieve's bridge will revert
to the township and will likely be
abandoned.
Property involved for the new
bridge is owned by Wilm.ore
Scott, (who will return in a week
or so from London where he has
been visiting)., also Alex. Smith
and T. Govenlock.

Arranging the meeting with
deportment officials was Charles'
8, MacNaughtou, MPP Huron.
The delegation's visit was
brought about by the lunch room
in the basement of the old school
having been condemned by the
Health Dept. This necessitated a
change in plans for the planned
addition, in order to include a
cafeteria.
The board had recently obtain-
ed consent of the Dept. of Educa-
tion and the municipal councils
in the High School Area for the
original plan. Now they have to
start over and get the new plan
approved. '
Following the successful visit,
to Toronto the local couneils are
being contacted.
The Department of Education
has raised to 5130,000 the cost on
which grants will be based. The
former ceiling was $85,000 which
was considered too low a figure
even without the cafeteria.
No decision has been reached
about serving meals in the cafe-
teria. It is expected that some
kitchen equipment will be pro-
vided.
