Replacement of Rankin Brook Bridge on Route 117

Description of Work: Parks Canada Agency (PCA) has a requirement for construction services for the construction of a new 27.20 meter single-span New England Bulb Tee Girder bridge complete with a composite 225 mm cast-in-place concrete deck crossing Rankin Brook. The new bridge is generally in the same location as the existing bridge and includes crash-tested steel barriers. The bridge superstructure is founded on fully integral piled abutments, supporting a reinforced concrete cap and cantilevered wingwalls along each edge of the abutment. Demolition work includes the removal of the existing bridge crossing including concrete deck, abutments and retaining walls. Route 117 roadwork generally includes the vertical realignment of approximately 310 meters of roadway to create the approaches to the new Rankin Brook Bridge and the removals and reshaping of the existing roadway embankments. Work also includes construction of a temporary detour to the south of the existing alignment to permit two way traffic during all phases of construction.  Closing Date and Time: May 23, 2018 - 2 :00 PM EDT  OPTIONAL SITE VISIT
