Speers Road Cantilever Sidewalk

When the Oakville Department of Public Works widened the Speers Road Bridge to five lanes with separated bike lanes, an FRP cantilever sidewalk was an important inclusion. At 94 ft by 6 ft, the sidewalk structure minimized weight by using FRP pultruded elements for channel floor beams supporting the longitudinal decking planks and FRP picket railing on the outboard edge of the sidewalk.

Read the testimonial from the contractor on the success of this project:

"The Ameriboard decking system, in combination with the Pultex® structural channels and FRP handrailing system by Creative Composites Group (CCG), was of excellent quality and easy to install. The field staff was impressed with the workability of the material and the simplistic design. CCG’s management staff could not have been more helpful in assessing and exceeding the quality requirements for structures in Southern Ontario. It's an aesthetically pleasing product satisfying all parties involved. I would recommend CCG and their products."
