Cataraqui River bridge & Highway 401

Demolition & 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.
