Ancaster Well Access and C15-08-24 (BR) Bridge 113 Rehabilitation Update – Construction Timeline and Vehicle / Pedestrian Access

Construction Project Description
C15-08-24 (BR) Bridge #113 Rehabilitation, including concrete repairs, crack injections, retaining wall and gabion basket replacement, culvert replacement, distribution slab, road construction, and associated works.

The City of Hamilton has contracted this project to rehabilitate Bridge #113, located on Sulphur Springs Road, 225 metres south of Governors Road. Preliminary work around the Ancaster Wells, including clearing vegetation and grading, has been carried out by the contractor to prepare the site for the construction work.  While the City experienced a delay, active construction work on the project is understood to be imminent, with the start date provided to HCA as Monday, August 19, 2024. The City will distribute an updated construction notice with a finalized schedule to the Hamilton Conservation Authority, the area councillor’s office, and residents. If you have questions about the Bridge #113 construction project or its timeline, please email the City of Hamilton at [email protected].

Construction timeline and Vehicle / Pedestrian Access
The beginning of the work is imminent and scheduled for Monday, August 19, 2024. The City of Hamilton estimates substantial completion by the end of November 2024.

Vehicular access to the Ancaster Well parking lot and regular pedestrian access will remain open until construction starts.

During the construction project, a way has been found to provide partial access to the Ancaster Well.  Vehicular access to the Ancaster Well parking lot will be closed, and the contractor will arrange a limited pedestrian access route along the edge of the property to the Ancaster Well. This access will be provided on weekends and from the hours of 7 PM to 6 AM on weekdays when active construction is not in progress.  One automobile parking spot on the Sulphur Springs municipal road allowance will be provided. HCA recognizes the significance of the well to its passholders as outlined in the user agreement and appreciates their understanding and patience during this time.
