$12.6M contract awarded for Nares River Bridge Replacement
The community of Carcoss is getting a new bridge over the Nares River.
Ruskin Construction has been awarded the $12.6 million contract.
The wooden bridge will be replaced by one made of concrete and steel, as the bridge originally constructed in 1970 was to accommodate mining activity in the area and was not designed to carry large loads.
Construction is planned to begin in winter 2017-18 and is expected to last two years.
