Litchfield is closely monitoring the condition of the bridge on Crawford Road

In its annual publication intended for its taxpayers, the Municipality of Litchfield indicates that the bridge located on Crawford Road remains stable, but that regular inspections are carried out to monitor the safety of its structure.

“Council is considering either permanent improvements or a complete replacement of the bridge. This process is underway and numerous consultations have taken place. For now, we are awaiting recommendations from certified engineers to continue the project, ”writes the Municipality of Litchfield.

The municipality specifies that the Council intends to file applications for subsidies and that in the fall of 2020, they received the authorization to transfer funds from the gasoline tax. “We therefore do not anticipate any increase in the tax rate to carry out the project,” specifies the Municipality of Litchfield.

Note that the municipality of Litchfield has announced that the tax rate for 2021 will remain unchanged and that the waste management tax is set at $ 120 per unit. Litchfield Council presented a balanced budget forecast for 2021, totaling $ 1,469,747.
