Windsor Essex Mobility Group Welcomes Review Panel
WINDSOR, ON, Aug. 12, 2013 /CNW/ - The Windsor Essex Mobility Group (WEMG) today welcomed Ontario Transportation & Infrastructure Minister Glen Murray's announcement regarding the composition and mandate of a review panel to assess the safety and durability of the girders fabricated for the Rt. Hon. Herb Gray Parkway (formerly known as the Windsor Essex Parkway).
The panel will assess the safety, durability, quality and performance of the girders. Part of the review will also involve assessing the girders' compliance with any applicable act, code or regulation. WEMG is eager for the panel's work to begin, and is confident that the panel will reaffirm the group's rigorous approach to safety and durability. The group looks forward to a timely resolution to this issue.
The new Rt. Hon. Herb Gray Parkway - which will connect a vital trade corridor and revitalize the communities that surround Windsor - is being built to the highest safety standards.
WEMG's number-one priority is the safety of the Parkway, and the group stands 100-percent behind its work. WEMG will continue to work with its government partners and the panel to demonstrate the integrity of the girders that have been fabricated for the Parkway. WEMG is confident of the safety and durability of its work; and it will have the responsibility of maintaining this infrastructure for the next thirty years, so it has every incentive to build it correctly.
