Press Release - Markham’s Reesor Road Bridge Opening January 29

MARKHAM, ON January 23, 2008
A new two-lane Reesor Road bridge over the Little Rouge Creek in Markham (replacing the former one-lane bridge) provides significant improvement to the flow of north-south traffic in the eastern part of York Region.Official Opening: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 – 9 a.m. At the Bridge Between 16th Avenue and Major Mackenzie Drive East (northeast of Don Cousens Parkway)BACKGROUND: Construction of the new bridge, replacing the 1925 one-lane bridge, provided an opportunity to improve traffic safety by straightening Reesor Road. When the old bridge was demolished, no debris or materials were allowed to contaminate the Little Rouge Creek. The new bridge – totalling 75 metres – spans the creek’s erosion limits, helping preserve environmental integrity. Designed by Markham-based Chisholm Fleming and Associates and built by Dufferin Construction Company, the bridge cost $2.68 million.
