On Friday, the federal government awarded McCormick Rankin Corp. a $750,036 contract for engineering services to the Chaudière Crossing.
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.
