Wallaceburg, Ontario. Walpole Island Swing Bridge. Full Repairs 2018-2019. Project No: R.051213.001
The Walpole Island Swing Bridge is located west of Wallaceburg, Ontario, on the eastern boundary of the Walpole First Nation and provides the only land-based access to Walpole Island. The bridge was constructed in 1968 and carries two lanes of traffic and two sidewalks over the Chenal Ecarte (Snye) River, a navigable waterway linking Lake Huron to Lake St. Clair.
The bridge has an overall width of 11.9 m and an overall length of
156.1m. The bridge has a 66.4 m centre pivot swing span and two fixed approach spans at either end. The length of the approach spans adjacent to the abutments are 19.8 m and the length of the approach spans adjacent to the main swing span are 20.1 m. Each approach span is comprised of an exposed latex modified concrete overlay on a concrete deck supported on five steel girders. The main swing span is comprised of a mastic asphalt wearing surface on a steel orthotropic deck that is supported by two steel girders. The main swing span can rotate clockwise 90° from a "closed" position to an "open" position about its centre.
The substructure consists of two concrete abutments and five concrete piers. The first pier beyond each abutment, supporting both approach spans, is referred to as a "shore pier". The second pier beyond each abutment, supporting an approach span and the swing span, is referred to as a "rest pier". The centre pier supporting only the swing span is referred to as a "pivot pier".
There are expansion joints in the deck at the abutments and shore piers.
In the closed position, the ends of the main swing span are supported on four end wedges at the rest piers and two live load bearings at the pivot pier. In the open position, the four wedges are withdrawn and loads are resisted by eight balance wheels at the centre pivot pier.
Operator control of the bridge is provided in the control room at the top level of the control tower, which is located on the west shore on the south side of the bridge. The swing span is opened by driving two bull pinions attached to the bridge structure on a circular gear track (rack) fixed to the pivot pier. Power for the opening operation is provided by one of two 10 horsepower electric motors, which are connected to the bull pinions through a gear reduction unit. Power is supplied by a 100 amp, 600 volt service at a terminal pole on the west shore at the north side of the bridge. A 60 kW diesel generator, located in the control room, serves as a backup power supply. Traffic control is provided by traffic signals and warning gates on both approaches. Navigational control is provided by lights mounted to the swing span.
Work under this Contract comprises structural and electrical components, and generally includes the following:
Concrete work comprising patch repairs on the piers, abutments, deck surface, deck soffit, and fascia; removal and placement of new concrete overlay in the approach spans; and reconstructing the concrete bearing seats at the abutments and shore piers, and the concrete pedestals at the rest piers.
