The Ottawa office of a Canadian engineering consulting company has received the latest contract as part of the federal government’s efforts to rehabilitate several interprovincial bridges in the National Capital Region.

The two-year rehabilitation project is set to begin this fall and includes minor steel repairs and protective coating (which is already underway), the replacement of the deck, sidewalk and barriers, seismic upgrades and protective repainting of the steel structure.
