The Manitoulin Expositor
The Manitoulin swing bridge had its biennial (every two-year) review in July by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) and the results are in—the bridge is in "good" condition.
Every two years, each of Ontario's bridges undergoes an inspection and is rated on a Bridge Condition Index (BCI): A BCI between 70 and 100 is considered "good" with maintenance not usually required in the next five years. A BCI of between 60 and 70 is fair with "maintenance work usually scheduled within the next five years." This, the MTO states, "is the ideal time to schedule major bridge repairs to get the most out of bridge spending."
