CAMERON STREET BRIDGEMAYOR COLIN KINSLEY
IDL Contractors of Prince George was awarded a $9.1-million contract to carry out the project,
which will included putting a new, two-lane superstructure over the existing piers as well as installing a roundabout on the north end, while a lighted intersection will remain at the south end because of land constraints and difficult gradients.
In all, $9.9 million has been budgeted, once design and contingency costs are included. In addition to the $2 million from MRIF, the city will borrow $6 million while the remaining costs will be covered through various reserve funds.
The new crossing is expected to handle 14,000 vehicles per day once it's open, compared to 8,000 when the bridge was closed in September 2005 because of safety concerns and rising maintenance costs.
