On May 18, the Hon. Helena Jaczek, Minister of Public Services and Procurement, announced that the Government of Canada awarded a $14.95 million contract to Arup Canada Inc. for the professional services of a technical advisor to support the Alexandra Bridge replacement project.
The technical advisor will support Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), working with the National Capital Commission (NCC) as part of an integrated project team, in coordinating and completing a number of economic, heritage, and environmental studies, as well as developing the conceptual designs of the new bridge.
The public will be able to participate in the design process through consultations that are expected to begin in winter 2023 to 2024 with the presentation of conceptual designs. An independent panel of experts will review and recommend a preferred concept design and support a design competition to be held in the future.
