She said the first phase was completed in June, when the Victoria Street bridge replacement project was finished.
“Phase two of the project is currently underway and includes the design of two new highway bridges across the Grand River,” Bloxam said. “Upon completion, a design and construction report for the new Grand River bridges will be made available for a 30-day public consultation.”
Planning for the third phase has already begun with ”environmental field work, detailed soil investigations, and other engineering work” underway.
