Bridges at Grand Valley
1/21/2018 at 5:20 PM

Was through the valley last week and noticed a sizeable amount of equipment and material at the bridges with work going on, sort of curious of if they are repairing the piles, or trying to make changes to increase flow under the bridges.

Thanks for the reply, had noticed a lot of material had been removed from the west side, and thought maybe they were maybe going to try and increase flow through the bridge to take some of the flow away from the underpass in high flows.

They are possibly rebuilding the old original bridge because the metal trusts that are there look to be for the length of the bridge. I'm fairly sure they already did the pilings going into the ground in the last two years.

Thanks for the link to the tenders, bit of an interesting read looking at the different costs of the tenders.

You may find this link interesting as well. This link will give you open provincial tenders and some municipal as well. Go to https://www.merx.com/ and entire Manitoba as the search term. walla
