The Bayfield River Bridge Replacement project involves the replacement and removal of the existing Bayfield River Bridge on Highway 21 in Bayfield, Ontario. The project requires Looby to build a unique steel arch bridge over the Bayfield River carrying Highway 21 traffic along the shores of Lake Huron. During construction Looby is responsible for maintaining two lanes of highway traffic through the construction site by erecting a 113-metre long Temporary Modular Bridge (“TMB”) adjacent to the existing bridge structure.

The project specifications required Looby to meet a specific milestone date of April 15, 2020 to switch traffic onto the TMB for a bonus incentive of $100,000; which Looby was able to achieve. In February 2021, Looby was able to reach another major milestone by finishing the concrete substructures and erecting the two iconic steel support arches into place.
