Work will begin this month on repairs for three overpasses and two bridges in Corner Brook.
A contract valued at approximately $1.8 million was awarded to Floyd’s Construction Limited in May for work on the Lewin Parkway to replace expansion joints, repair concrete, waterproof, and repave the Corner Brook Stream Bridge near Mill Road, the eastbound and westbound Humber Road overpasses, and the overpass above the Trans-Canada Highway.
The contract also includes concrete repairs and paving on Ballam Bridge on Route 440.
The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure anticipates this work to be completed later this construction season.
The work is in addition to repairs completed on the overpass leading from the Lewin Parkway to Riverside Drive, road side ditching, and a culvert replacement near the St. Marks Avenue intersection completed in 2021.

Information on active highway construction projects and repairs is also available by visiting nl511.ca and on the NL 511 mobile app.
