Kingston, Ontario - Public Services and Procurement Canada
The Government of Canada is committed to ensuring that its infrastructure remains safe and operational for the travelling public.
Today, the Honourable Helena Jaczek, Minister of Public Services and Procurement, announced that the Government of Canada has awarded a construction contract valued at $8,754,110 (including taxes) to Landform Civil Infrastructures Inc. for the replacement of the bridge deck on the LaSalle Causeway's Bascule Bridge in Kingston, Ontario.
Through this contract, Landform Civil Infrastructures Inc. will replace the steel deck grating and supporting stringers, rehabilitate the deteriorated concrete on the counterweight, and strengthen the supporting steel truss components at the main trunnions.
The repairs and renovations will improve the condition and operation of the Bascule Bridge, ensuring it remains safe for pedestrians as well as public and commercial traffic. This rehabilitation project will also extend the service life of the counterweight, trunnion and steel deck on the Bascule Bridge by another 15 years.
Construction is anticipated to begin in November 2023 and is expected to be completed by May 2025. To minimize disruptions, the work will take place during the off season when the bridge is traditionally closed to marine traffic.
