Patrick-Hackett Bridge

Client :

City of Granby

Location :

Granby, QC, Canada

Patrick-Hackett Bridge

One of the largest reconstruction sites in the city's recent history, the Patrick-Hackett Bridge is the main access into Granby's downtown core. To accommodate growing traffic volume, the project involved three components; widening the bridge, redesigning the approaches and improving transportation and traffic metrics. The design was to include sidewalks on both sides of the bridge, overhanging lookouts, street lights and furniture to match those in the downtown area. Our environment, urban infrastructure, civil engineering, transportation, electrical and landscape architecture teams all contributed to the project's success. Services included; front-end engineering and design, structural, highway and municipal engineering bid documents, on-site monitoring of bridge widening and approach construction work.

Project name :

Turcotte Bridge

Client :

City of Sorel

Location :

Sorel, QC, Canada

Turcotte Bridge

The Turcotte Bridge, originally constructed in 1932, is a vital link between both banks of the Richelieu River in Quebec and was in need of significant repairs. Our rehabilitation plan included replacing one of the two trusses and a major portion of the deck along with the mechanical and electrical elements of the lifting span system and the replacement of many motors and damaged components. Prior to starting the work, a large ship collided with the bridge, prompting emergency repairs and replacement of one of the two fixed steel spans. Repairs were made while maintaining vehicular, waterway and pedestrian traffic flow.
