Current bridge projects

There are 114 bridges of various sizes and shapes in Camrose County. It is the responsibility of the municipality to ensure the maintenance and safety of these structures. Most of these structures were built over 50 years ago and they are approaching the end of their life. As bridge repairs are costly, often a bridge will be restricted for weight or closed before it can be repaired or replaced.

In the past few years, Camrose County completed the following bridge projects.

Bridge File 02365 is located on Township Road 480 East of Range Road 185 (SW5-48-18-4) near Round Hill. The existing structure consists of a single large diameter arched culvert that was originally constructed in 1956.

In 2015, a Bridge Inspection & Maintenance System (BIM) was completed that showed deflections and corrosion in the culvert. There is deep pitting along the floor and lower sidewall, the inlet seam has pulled away from the barrel at the bottom allowing water to get under the floor, the culvert is bulging at the centerline, and there is a slight sag in the roof of the culvert.

This is a contracted culvert replacement for 2021.

UPDATE: Work will begin the week of July 12, 2021. For the duration of the project the road at this location will be closed. Work includes the removal of the existing arched CSP and replacement with 2 new 2000mm culverts.

BF07563 is in Camrose County at NW24-48-21-4. This bridge culvert carries Range Road 211 over Camrose Creek North of Armena, in a rural area North West of Camrose, between Township Road 480 and Township Road 482.

Alberta Transportation completed an inspection of BF07563 in 2017. The existing structure consists of a single large diameter arch culvert that was originally constructed in 1962.

This is a contracted bridge project for 2021.
