Easterly view towards the twin Batteaux River bridges. Because the
width of the median varies as Highway 26-New rounds the curve east of the
Poplar Sideroad roundabout, the structures are built on distinct alignments. Photo taken: March 19th, 2012. |

Two views looking westerly along Highway 26-New as the highway crosses the
Batteaux River. In the lower photo (the westbound structure) notice
how much higher the left-most parapet wall is compared to that of the right.
This is because of the impending curve located just to the east of the
structure. Once completed this bridge will be build up with asphalt
and gravel to make up the super-elevation necessary for the impending curve. Photos taken: March 19th, 2012. |

Easterly view from the Fairgrounds Road overpass. To the north of the
highway lies a storm water management pond. These ponds filter
pollutants out of water and regulate storm water flows into the natural
environment reducing the scouring effect that a large storm event can have
in a natural watercourse. Photo taken: March 19th, 2012. |
|

The eastern side of the Fairgrounds Road overpass. The two access
ports on the underside of the overpass provide access to structural
inspectors into the interior of this hollow bridge. This allows
inspectors to conduct regular inspection activities. Photo taken: March 19th, 2012. |
