Two offset views of the narrow South Saugeen River truss bridge along
Highway 89. The truss bridge was constructed by the Hamilton Bridge
Company in 1953 and was installed for the County of Wellington. In
1953, when this bridge was built, the
Highway 89 designation did not extend west of Primrose. The South
Saugeen River truss bridge served the County of Wellington for a decade
before Highway 89 was extended to Harriston.

Mulmur - Mono Boundary County of Dufferin |
The highway designer has erroneously elected to sign Highway 10/89 with
junction squares instead of teardrop shields. This installation is
likely due to the former three way multiplex between Highway10/24/89.
Unlike multiplexes between two highways, three way multiplexes are typically
signed with junction squares and not teardrop shields.

Looking east towards Alliston along Highway 89. Alliston is a long
community with an inefficient jog in Highway 89's alignment. In my
humble opinion, the MTO would be wise to consider a new Highway 89 alignment
by-passing Alliston.

The Nottawasaga River Bridge was replaced and widened in 2010. The
current highway deck rests on piers that were extended during the widening
project in 2010, while the older piers have been retrofitted for new
structural steel beams. The deck will be extended in a future widening
project.

County of Simcoe |
Scenic view of the Nottawasa River bridge looking northerly. Solid
bridge piers in the river are typical of older (usually pre-1960s) highway
structures. Newer designs tend to use a pier with a more slender
footprint. The piers constructed as part of the 2010 extension match
and were incorporated into the pre-existing design.
