Additionally, design work is underway to relocate a major waterline below the Trans-Canada Highway on-ramp near Massey Drive.
Government has issued an explanation as to why the Lewin Parkway Bridge is taking so long to repair. The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure stated the contractor is waiting for bearings for the bridge to be fabricated so work can resume on the project. Additionally, design work is underway to relocate a major waterline below the Trans-Canada Highway on-ramp near Massey Drive, in an effort to facilitate repair of the wall below the ramp. Corner Brook MHA Gerry Byrne says there is a major safety issue with the project. He says the delay was mainly due to a lengthy wait time for the specified part.
DOT says public safety remains paramount and the closure of this roadway remains necessary until critical repairs are completed. The department apologizes for any inconvenience this may be creating for motorists in the area.
Details on highway construction projects are available on www.nl511.ca and the NL 511 smartphone app.
