| Ferrovial builds first cable-stayed bridge in Ontario Spanish infrastructure group Ferrovial, through construction subsidiary Ferrovial Agroman and in joint venture with Bot Construction, has been chosen by Ontario's Ministry of Northern Development and Mines and its Ministry of Transportation to build the first cable-stayed bridge in the province. The bridge, worth 106 million Canadian dollars (equivalent to 78 million euro), will cross the Nipigon river and carry Highway 11/17, part of the Trans-Canada Highway, which links the country's ten provinces. The four-lane bridge will be 252 metres long. It is scheduled to be opened in mid-2017. The design, involving a three-tower centre pier and sequential installation of the bridge deck working outwards to the east and west abutments, eliminates the need for in-water structures. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
