Bridge Construction Progresses

As we enter into the winter months, construction continues on the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge, both locally and in Nova Scotia. Recent photos show the work being done to temporarily construct the smaller of the arches on site in the east coast province. I am excited to see this work progressing and look forward to when the arches are installed on the bridge structure over the Rideau River.
