| Aecon awarded $13 million bridge contract in Calgary Aecon Group Inc., Canada's largest publicly traded construction and infrastructure development company, announced that it has been awarded a heavy civil contract on the ring road being constructed in Calgary. The $13 million contract to build three structures on the Stoney Trail portion of the new road follows a $20 million contract awarded late last year for two bridges over a nearby stretch of the same road. The latest award brings the total value of civil construction work awarded since Aecon opened its office in Alberta last year to over $50 million. Under the latest contract, Aecon will build a six-lane overpass where Beddington Trail will cross over Stoney Trail. Stoney Trail will form the northwest quadrant of a larger ring road around the City of Calgary being undertaken by Alberta's Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation. Aecon's work on the project will begin in July 2007 and is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2008. The contract was awarded by Alberta's South Rock Ltd., the general contractor for a substantial portion of the Stoney Trail project. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
