Cataraqui River Bridge and Highway 401

Demolition and Reconstruction

Our team was awarded the mandate to demolish and rebuild the bridge that supports Highway 401 across the Cataraqui River in Kingston.

Our work included the following elements:

• Widening the highway section between the bridge and Highway 15
• Improving the Highway 15 interchange
• Preparing, implementing and monitoring the project management plan, quality control plan, and inspection and execution test plans
• Planning the design and construction activities
• Controlling costs, schedule and quality
• Providing on-site training and supervision
• Managing traffic and supervising construction methods and logistics
• Obtaining permits and approvals
• Supporting external communications
• Developing and monitoring environmental protection measures

The project, which began in the midst of Canada's 150th anniversary celebrations, was completed in just over three years, at a cost of $32 million.

Heavy Traffic

We had to control traffic on the busiest highway in Canada.
