KINGSTON, ON, May 3, 2024
/CNW/ - Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) would like to
provide an update on the LaSalle Causeway closure, following the
public notices issued on April 2,
April 4, April
12 and April 22.
The first phase of work, which involves strengthening various
elements of the bridge and completing essential contractual work to
prepare for the repairs, is currently underway. Once this work is
completed, the second phase will begin. It will focus on repairing
the damage to the diagonal steel element and further strengthening
the structure. Successful repair work will enable the resumption of
pedestrian, cyclist, vehicle and marine traffic. PSPC currently
estimates that these repairs will take 8 to 10 weeks. This timeline
is subject to change should unforeseen issues be uncovered during
the repair work.
As the repair work progresses, PSPC is exploring other options
to enable the resumption of pedestrian, cyclist, vehicle and marine
traffic.
The health and safety of the travelling public on the LaSalle
Causeway is of paramount importance to the department.
PSPC is committed to providing more information as it
becomes available and encourages users to consult its public
notices and social media channels for updates.
