| Description |
| Ontario needs a $2-billion investment over five years to adequately rehabilitate its inventory of 12,000 municipal bridges, according to a report released in November. There is no central provincial agency to ensure the bridges are inspected every two years, says the report by MMM Group, Thornhill, Ont., which urges the creation of such a body. The report also recommends proper accreditation of bridge inspectors and urges a comprehensive report identifying the most urgent repair needs. Many of the bridges are reaching the end of their life span and pose a risk to public safety, thanks to years of deferred maintenance, irregular inspections and lack of government insight as causes for that deterioration.
