Old Shiloh Bridge Environmental Assessment

Overview

The Town of Georgina has completed the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA Study) to determine the preferred method of improvement to Old Shiloh Bridge East. The recommended solution is to remove the existing bridge and construct a new two-lane bridge. The Town will also be assembling a committee to review and evaluate options to commemorate the existing bridge
