Left - Rock cut on Hwy 7 at the western entrance to Marmora in 2005, prior to reconstruction and widening. Under Contract #2007-4027, Hwy 7 was reconstructed
and widened on the western approach to Marmora. This widening included additional excavation within this cut. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 24, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) ![]() (Photograph taken on September 27, 2020 - © Cameron Bevers) ![]() ![]()
Left - Facing east along Hwy 7 towards the Hwy 14 Junction through the Marmora Hill Cut in 2005, prior to reconstruction and widening. A westbound truck
climbing lane is provided along Hwy 7 at the Marmora Hill Cut, due to the grade. Originally, highway drainage was simply conveyed down the cut via shallow roadside
ditches parallel to the pavement. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 24, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) ![]() (Photograph taken on September 27, 2020 - © Cameron Bevers) ![]() ![]()

Left - Crowe River Bridge (Site #11-44) on Hwy 7 in Marmora. This structure was built under Contract #1933-49 and was completed in 1934. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 24, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The Crowe River Bridge at Marmora was the first triple-span concrete rigid frame bridge built on Ontario's King's Highway System. This bridge design saw rapid adoption and use by the Department of Highways of Ontario (DHO) during the 1930s, as it was a practical method of constructing bridges which could withstand the ever-increasing loads of traffic on the highway system. A key advantage of this bridge design is that it is relatively straightforward to widen the bridge if additional deck width is ever needed in the future. By comparison, overhead through and pony truss bridge designs have fixed dimensions once built and are very challenging to retrofit or modify. By the end of the 1930s, the concrete rigid frame bridge was one of the most commonly used bridge designs employed by the DHO for short and medium-length bridges. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Facing west along Hwy 7 at the Crowe River Bridge in Marmora. At the time this photo was taken in 2005, the bridge was undergoing some minor
rehabilitation work. The bridge's asphalt wearing surface and waterproofing membrane had been removed, which exposed the bridge's original concrete deck underneath.

This single-span concrete arch structure was completed in 1934. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on May 23, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) ![]() ![]()
Left - Southern side of the Moira River Bridge on Hwy 7 near Madoc. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on May 23, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The Moira River Bridge is an open-spandrel concrete arch structure with a span length of 80 feet (24.4 metres). While there are many open-spandrel concrete arch bridges in Ontario, there are very few that have such a low vertical profile. The apex of the arch is less than 3 metres above the river. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on May 23, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) ![]() ![]()
Left - Looking through the open spandrel of the Moira River Bridge on Hwy 7. The roadway deck was replaced as part of a rehabilitation of the bridge in the
early 2000s, but the concrete arch superstructure is mostly original and unmodified. See an
Enlarged Photo Here.
