Construction on the Calf Robe Bridge has been halted after concrete pieces fell to the water and

ground below yesterday morning. Duty Insp. James Hardy said boaters placed a call to inform emergency services of falling debris from the Deerfoot Trail bridge.

OHS spokesperson Fiona Wiseman said the incident happened while workers were jack-hammering. “They had put up some plywood but there was a gap in between and concrete fell

through.” Alberta Transportation spokesperson Tammy Forbes said it’s too soon to tell how long this delay will be. “Occupational health and safety is looking at the situation so it

would be far too soon to speculate on the impact on construction at all.” The project, like many others throughout the province, has also experienced some rain delays, according to Forbes.
