A rapidly deteriorating condition of the existing Champlain Bridge in Montreal, led the Government of Canada to accelerate its replacement and ultimately award a $3.98 billion CDN contract to Signature on the Saint Lawrence Group to deliver a new replacement crossing. Entailing a 3.4 km long structure over the St. Lawrence River with some 193,000 m² of new deck construction, the works represent one of the largest infrastructure projects currently underway in North America and will produce Canada’s biggest bridge. The first of six related papers submitted to this symposium, this paper explains the need for an accelerated schedule, describes the delivery method used, summarizes the imposed requirements to ensure delivery of a highly durable structure (125-year design life) and key architectural features of the bridge required to endow Montreal with an elegant world class transportation infrastructure. |
