One of Kingston, Ont.’s largest-ever construction projects is nearing completion.
The $180-million Third Crossing construction project is getting close to the finish line, with the project moving into its next phase of paving the bridge deck.
The infrastructure that was built for the construction is starting to be taken away, and the city says the bridge is about 90 per cent complete.
“We’re not quite ready to circle a date on the calendar yet for the final bridge opening and commissioning,” says Mark Van Buren, deputy commissioner of the major projects office.
“But the team is getting more confident that the date is probably going to look like sometime in mid-December. We’ll be on target to have our project done by the end of the year.”
