Fast moving floodwaters caused the collapse of the Imperial Road Bridge over Catfish Creek in Port Bruce, taking an unsuspecting dump truck driver crossing the bridge down with it into the fast moving waters below. Once the truck and driver were removed to safety and the dust settled, it was clear the removal of the collapsed bridge was going to be environmentally sensitive, dangerous, and complicated. A 70' section was sitting horizontally on the riverbed with four feet of water flowing over the deck, an 81' section was at a 45 degree angle, resting on a pier, and an 88' section was still erect sitting on a pier and abutment cantilevered out over the ~120' wide creek. The County of Elgin contracted PDI to remedy this dangerous situation.
