An expert panel has concluded the girders used in building Windsor’s Herb Gray Parkway are unsafe. The Independent Expert Review was convened over the summer, after concerns were raised that the support beams used in the $1.4-billion parkway project were not manufactured to code. Their conclusions were made public Wednesday. “With various violations in the design and construction requirements and the uncertainties in the construction of these girders, the IER can not unequivocally opine that the girders are safe and durable,” said the report. “In fact, there is evidence that safety and durability of the girders have been compromised.” Independent Expert ReviewUnsafe girders — how the heck did that happen?
