Hoc Roc River Bridge Rehabilitation (District of Muskoka)

The District of Muskoka undertook the rehabilitation of a pre-stressed precast concrete box girder bridge spanning 20.1m over the Hoc Roc River, near Gravenhurst. The work included the construction of a temporary detour comprising a 21.3m temporary modular bridge to maintain traffic to the Sands resort. The bridge rehabilitation design included conversion of the bridge to a semi-integral abutment type bridge to eliminate the expansion joints, substructure repairs, and modification of the railing system to meet current standards.
