Those wanting to walk in the heels of history can take one final crossing Tuesday afternoon on the North Channel Bridge overhanging the St. Lawrence River.
On July 8, the pedestrian-only event will showcase historical pictures along the 1,625-metre concrete roadway, set to be demolished later this month.
The 52-year-old bridge connects Cornwall to Cornwall Island and was decommissioned last January when the new low-level bridge opened.
The event is organized by the Seaway International Bridge Corporation, Ltd. and The Federal Bridge Corporation Ltd., which awarded the $15-million demolition contract to American Bridge Canada in late May. It was the lowest of four bidders.
The project includes removal of the bridge deck, steel superstructure and some, but not all, concrete piers. The company estimates it will complete demolition by the end of June 2016.
It’s the third phase of four in the $75-million federally-funded project, announced in 2010.
Slated for 2 p.m. until 8, guests can expect a brief commentary on the history of the old bridge and the replacement structure. A rain day is set for July 9, between 2 and 8.
The new North Channel Bridge is part of the Seaway International Bridge, which is an international toll bridge system connecting Cornwall and Massena, N.Y. through it and the South Channel Bridge on the U.S. side of Cornwall Island.
