Canada bridge deal

Technical investigations have highlighted structural issues with a bridge on a key bridge link on a highway in Quebec, Canada. The bridge on the 20 East highway close to the Pierre-Laporte exit in Lévis requires repair work. The bridge was built in 1965 and will be completely rebuilt so that a third lane can be added to the 20 East highway as far as the Président-Kennedy exit in Lévis. A contract has been awarded to Cima+-Dessau for the work, which is expected to commence in 2013.
