The City of Thorold initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study to address concerns related to the South Main Street Bridge and Pedestrian Linkage in the Port Robinson area. The Class EA was carried out as Schedule "B'' undertaking in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process, approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (1990).

McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers Ltd. was originally retained by the City to facilitate the Class EA to address the need to provide a safe and reliable pedestrian linkage between South Main St. and Cross St. in the Port Robinson community. After the Class EA, City of Thorold retained the services of RJ Burnside to create a conceptual rendering of a proposed Port Robinson Ecological Park (Eco-Park) at the South Main Street Bridge general location. The creation of an ecological park provides an opportunity to enhance an existing ecological habitat and an abandoned bridge currently used as a popular fishing hole/walkway connecting communities across an old canal waterway known for its wildlife. The Eco-Park design has an opportunity to reinforce the vision and character of the neighborhood while maintaining the ecological connection and environmental sensitivities.

The City of Thorold has commenced the detailed design phase for the South Main Street Bridge located in Port Robinson. The bridge is located between Cross St. (north) and South Main Street (south) over the former Welland River, now a segmented watercourse within Port Robinson in Thorold. The proposed design will be based on the mutually agreed “Preferred Design Concept Plan/3D Rendering” between the residents and the City. The detail design will also be in line with the display slides presented in the September 27, 2023 Public Information Centre that was held at the Port Robinson Community Centre.

  • Share I know that there was an archeological dig that happened near the bridge this fall. It has been more than a month since their return yet there is still a container of their tools in place. Can you tell me if they have completed their work? If not, how long is this going to delay the rest of the work? I asked the workers if their findings would be made public and they said that it was up to the city to do that. When they are finished will the city share the findings with the public?

    The work at the Main Street Bridge is not complete yet. The schedule is undetermined at this point, related to weather and lab results. Yes, the findings will be made public when the results are in. You can follow this webpage for any updates that will be posted in the future.
