(NA30 CJV), the construction joint venture carrying out the expansion of Quebec's Autoroute 30. The Autoroute 30 project is being delivered as a Public Private Partnership (PPP). The PPP agreement between the Ministère des Transports du Québec and Nouvelle Autoroute 30, s.e.n.c. (NA30) for the design, construction, financing, operation, maintenance and repair of the Autoroute 30 completion for a period of 35 years was signed in September 2008. NA30 has given the design and construction mandate to NA30 CJV. Under the construction joint venture agreement, Aecon holds a 16% interest in the construction joint venture that is building a 42 kilometre western section of the A30 in PPP mode. The project involves construction of the four-lane highway for a 35 kilometre stretch between Châteauguay and Vaudreuil-Dorion, with an additional seven kilometre section connecting the highway to Salaberry-de-Valleyfield. The project also includes erecting two major bridge crossings – a 2.5 kilometre bridge over the Beauharnois Canal, and a 1.8 kilometre bridge over the St. Lawrence River – as well as a 90-metre tunnel beneath the Soulanges Canal. Construction of the highway has commenced and is scheduled for completion in 2012. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
