HALIFAX — The EllisDon Civil East team has expanded civil construction operations into Atlantic Canada after winning the Musquodoboit Harbour Bridge Replacement Project contract.
This is the first major heavy civil project for EllisDon in the region, states a release from the company.
“I’m very proud of the Atlantic and Civil East teams whose collaboration was key to successfully securing this milestone project, said Derek Love, senior vice-president and area manager with EllisDon’s Civil Division, in a statement.
The Musquodoboit Harbour Bridge is located 40 kilometres east of Halifax on Highway Trunk 7 (Marine Drive) over the Musquodoboit River. The current structure will be demolished and replaced by a new 48-metre-long structure as the the current bridge is only 45.7 metres.
It will be made with structural steel I-girders, concrete spread footing, semi-integral concrete abutments and a thin-slab concrete deck, the company describes.
Once finished the new bridge will feature two lanes of traffic an a raised concrete pedestrian sidewalk.
Construction is slated to start in early 2025.
