Original source: Durham Region’s Seagrave Bridge navigation notice
People who use the Nonquon River can comment on how planned rehabilitation of Seagrave Bridge could affect marine navigation. Durham Region’s November 10 notice provides a 30-day submission period and identifies the project in the federal Common Project Search registry as number 15811.
The bridge carries Simcoe Street, Regional Road 2, over the river in Scugog. The Region’s project page places it about 0.55 kilometres south of Saintfield Road, Regional Road 6.
How to submit a navigation comment
The Region says it has deposited a minor-work notification, description and plans under the Canadian Navigable Waters Act. Its notice directs readers to search for 15811 at the Common Project Search registry and use the comment section.
For people without internet access, the notice provides the project manager’s contact: Megan Duhig, Transportation Infrastructure, Works Department, 905-668-4113 extension 3276, Megan.Duhig@Durham.ca. Postal submissions can be directed to 605 Rossland Road East, Level 5, PO Box 623, Whitby, ON L1N 6A3.
Comments must be received no later than 30 days after publication of the notice. The notice does not specify a closing clock time; consult the Region about submission timing rather than assume a midnight deadline.
The notice says comments are not displayed publicly on the registry, but records concerning the work could be accessible upon legal request. It advises against including confidential or sensitive information without first contacting Transport Canada.
Design stage, not an immediate closure
The Region’s project page, last updated October 21, describes the project as being in detailed design. It says traffic through the bridge site will be maintained during construction by staging the work.
The navigation notice does not announce an immediate road closure, a construction start date or completion of the rehabilitation. It is an opportunity to comment on navigation effects, not evidence that work has begun.
Sources and verification
The full regional notice and project page were read November 10. The notice’s publication date was confirmed in the official RSS feed. The registry number and comment instructions are attributed to Durham Region; a certificate error prevented this newsroom from independently opening the federal registry during verification.
