Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[KevinT]

The MTO has done overnight bridge replacements elsewhere in the province. They construct the replacement bridge off-site, jack up the old bridge and cart it off, and then cart in the new one. It's actually a pretty cool process.

The width spanned by that bridge never changed (only the width of the bridge itself), so the original abutments could be re-used.  We're not in the same situation with Victoria, it will be a longer span so a one-day swap isn't feasible -- the old abutments have to come down with new ones built on new pilings.
