Better Bridge
As summer turns into fall, the heat is on in a different way. The pressure is on to conclude all types of outdoor construction projects both on time and on budget. One such example is the bridge improvement project on Highway 56, seven miles south of Highway 13. This location is a 15-minute drive time from Camrose and allows vehicular traffic to cross Dried Meat Lake Creek. Lafarge Construction, contracted by Alberta Transportation, commenced on-site work of this particular rehab initiative in July. They expect to work to reinforce the 1979-built bridge and to create an entirely new deck surface concluded before the end of October. After years of corrosion, in part due to salt and sanding done in an effort to ensure safe-as-possible winter driving conditions for endless traffic, the $1 million improvement will provide many decades of future reliable service. This bridge will be able to accommodate all legal load limits.
