Harbour Bridge repairs underway print this article

The Atlantic Construction and Transportation Journal

Only two lanes are open to traffic and no one will be rushing during rush hour on the Harbour Bridge in Saint John, New Brunswick until late October. Repairs to decking and walls on the 40-year-old bridge began May 15. After months of bickering between federal and provincial politicians about funding for repairs and forgiving a $22.6 million federal debt, the New Brunswick government guaranteed a $35 million loan to cover the much-needed upgrades. Ontario-based ConCreate USL Ltd. was awarded the $32.6 million contract. Ironically the company originated in Moncton, NB as a small tunneling business. Its portfolio now includes work on the Niagara River Rainbow Bridge and the construction of the bobsled and luge track at this year’s Olympic Winter Games in British Columbia.
