The bridge serves as an overpass for $PVOUZ3PBEUSBGàD*UTQBOT)JHIXBZ below, which connects Champlain Township
Le pont du ruisseau de Hawkesbury enjambe la route 34, qui relie la ville de Hawkesbury au canton de Champlain. Le gouvernement provincial prévoit moderniser le pont. Le personnel du ministère des Transports insiste sur le fait que la conception future comprendra une intersection à feux de circulation normalisés, pour remplacer l’actuelle bretelle d’accès en direction ouest de la route 34. Hawkesbury et les Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell s’y opposent, sans succès jusqu’à présent. —photo Gregg Chamberlain stated that “the newly proposed stop at the intersection of the westbound on-ramp is their preferred solution and, unless the counties can show otherwise, that this is going to be the recommended solution for the on/off ramp.” Clermont’s department will present its peer review report to the ministry as soon as it is completed. Clermont expects to have another meeting with ministry staff to go over the comments and recommendations in the peer review.
