EllisDon announced it has expanded civil construction operations into the Atlantic region with the awarding of the Musquodoboit Harbour Bridge Replacement project. “I’m very proud of the Atlantic and Civil East teams whose collaboration was key to successfully securing this milestone project. Here’s to announcing more project wins in the future,” said Derek Love, senior vice president and area manager, EllisDon Civil Division. Located on Highway Trunk 7 over the Musquodoboit River, approximately 40 km east of Halifax, the project involves demolishing the existing bridge and constructing a new 48-metre structure with structural steel I-girders, a raised pedestrian sidewalk, and a thin-slab concrete deck. To maintain vital connectivity during construction, a temporary detour road and bridge will be implemented. Work is set to begin in early 2025, enhancing connections across Halifax and Eastern Nova Scotia. The Musquodoboit Harbour Bridge is located 40-kilometres east of Halifax on Highway Trunk 7 (Marine Drive) over the Musquodoboit River. The current structure of the Musquodoboit Harbour Bridge will be demolished and replaced by a new 48 metre long structure; the current bridge is only 45.7 metres. The new bridge will be made with structural steel I-girders, concrete spread footing, semi-integral concrete abutments, and a thin-slab concrete deck. Once completed, the new bridge will carry two lanes of traffic and a raised concrete pedestrian sidewalk. A temporary detour route adjacent to the work area will be constructed as the current traffic will need to be maintained Construction is slated to commence in early 2025 |
