George Stone and Sons won a $10.9 million contract for the first phase of construction at the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge Plaza.
The Sault-based general contractor will build a garage for the International Bridge Authority, a duty free store and handle all the related sitework from the Carmen's Way truck corridor to Hudson Street, including a widening of the bridge ramp.
"A key highlight in this phase of the project will be the widening and connection of the plaza ramp to Carmen's Way, which will greatly improve the flow of commercial and general traffic at the plaza,” said Micheline Dube, president and CEO of the St. Mary's River Bridge Company.
A press release from the Federal Bridge Corporation called this a “major step” forward in the Canadian Plaza Redevelopment Project.
A new blog has been created (www.ssmbridge.ca) to keep the public informed of all aspects of the project.
