County endorses bridge in Campbellford News - Northumberland County - After nearly seven years of discussions, committee meetings and public consultations, Northumberland County has voted in favour of another bridge being built over the Trent River in Campbellford.
By a recorded weighted vote of 21 to 5, county council endorsed a recommendation from its steering committee and a consulting firm to build a second bridge, connecting Second and Alma streets, and to replace the town’s main bridge at the end of its service life.
IBI Group said the twobridge option was the best one for maximizing the lifespan of the existing structure, supporting future growth and economic development in the area, reducing current traffic and emissions, and increasing alternative routes for emergency vehicles in support of lower response times.
The other option before council was to twin the existing bridge at the same location before replacing it, to create a three-lane structure with a centre lane for making left turns off the bridge.
Warden Linda Thompson said she struggled back and forth with this issue after reviewing all the documentation related to the options.

is a community issue and we’re here to make decisions based on the best use of the dollars of all of the county,� she said June 18. “More and more through this I had supported the single bridge option.� When a recorded vote was called by Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, Thompson was the only one of council’s seven municipal representatives to vote against the proposed Second-Alma bridge.
With both options, construction of a new bridge is to take place within ten years and replacement of the existing bridge 15 or more years after that, when required.
 “What we have in Campbellford today is not working,� Macmillan said. “We need to move forward with a solution that will deliver the best outcome for people’s livelihoods and way of life.� While he pointed out that the preferred alternative is not “a perfect solution,� he said it is “the best option for the Town of Campbellford and the Municipality of Trent Hills as a whole.�
Looking at Trenton and Belleville when making his decision, Brighton Mayor Mark Walas identified 12 river crossings in those communities before voting in favour of two bridges in Please see “Second� on page 3
Lacrosse day at St. Paul’s
Members of the Peterborough Junior A Lakers lacrosse team were at St. Paul Catholic Elementary School in Norwood last week and they were pretty impressed with the talent they found on the field. Students showed off their passing, catching and running skills during their time with the visiting Lakers who also talked to the students about the annual Peterborough Lakers lacrosse camp which runs throughout the month of July.
