KINGSTON, ON, June 20,
2024 /CNW/ - Public Services and Procurement Canada
(PSPC) would like to provide an update on the LaSalle Causeway
closure, following the public notices issued on May 29 and
June 4 and 5.
PSPC has been working closely with Priestly Demolition Inc.,
which has engaged specialized teams that have been working 12-hour
shifts daily to expedite the Bascule Bridge demolition. As a
result, the demolition and removal of the bridge structure has been
progressing ahead of schedule.
We can now confirm that the LaSalle Causeway is fully open for
marine navigation as of 12 pm (Eastern
Daylight Time) on June 20.
PSPC continues to develop a plan in partnership with the
City of Kingston to reinstate
access for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians using a temporary
bridge solution. At the same time, we have also started preliminary
work regarding a permanent replacement bridge.
PSPC remains committed to protecting the safety of Canadians
through ongoing investments in its infrastructure. More information
will be shared as it becomes available. We encourage
users to consult our public notices and social media
channels for updates.
