Aecon Construction and Materials has been awarded a $19.4-million contract for a Highway 69-related project in the Henvey Inlet area.
The Toronto contractor will begin work shortly to realign 2.7 kilometres of CN railway tracks and build three new highway bridges at Highway 522 north of Henvey Inlet. The project will make room for an interchange at highways 69 and 522. Completion is anticipated in 2017.
The Highway 69 four-laning project between Sudbury and Parry Sound is categorized by Queen’s Park as the largest infrastructure investment in Ontario’s history with spending of more than $130 billion over 10 years.
There are currently two major four-laning contracts underway on Highway 69 north of the French River, totalling 20 kilometres.
