HCSA Making Repairs to Trans Ontario Provincial Trail B

The Haliburton County Snowmobile Association is taking on repairs that affect all Ontario riders.

HSCA is asking snowmobilers to not use Beech River Bridge for at least the next few weeks while they repair the bridge. HSCA says that over time, two cribs that carry the weight of three sections of the bridge has cracked. HSCA explained that the bridge was deemed unsafe for trail groomers to go over since they weigh thousands of pounds.

John Enright, the Director of the HSCA, says that the work involved to fix the bridge is to replace the broken cribbing with new load bearing pieces with a rubber membrane to protect the restoration through the winter.

Enright said that the fixing of the bridge would not have been possible without the donations of the Town of Algonquin Highlands and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs. Enright says that Pollard House and Building Movers, of Lindsay, will start the $58,000 in repairs in the next couple weeks.

Trans Ontario Provincial Trail B runs from Sauble Beach on Lake Huron, east through Haliburton to the Quebec border near Pembroke.

Enright asks that the public not use the bridge until the repairs are finished.
