The City of Richmond Hill has completed a study to determine the best way to rehabilitate the culverts under Schomberg Road and improve river and wetland conditions in the area.
The preferred solution includes the following:
Replacement of the twin 3 metre diameter corrugated metal pipe culverts with twin 4.5 metre concrete culverts.
Minor grading works to direct low water flows to the south culvert and have the north culvert be used for higher flows to minimize sediment build up.
Once approved, construction will take place at the same time as the Schomberg Road reconstruction. Detailed design of that project is scheduled to take place in 2024.
