In monetary terms, it is the largest contract ever obtained by Canam Group.

The announcement follows the signature of a commitment letter in May (link opens in new tab).

The contact with Signature on the St Laurence Construction also includes the fabrication of steel components for the new Île-des-Sœurs Bridge but excludes the cable-stayed section of the new Champlain Bridge.

Fabrication will begin in autumn 2015 and deliveries will continue until spring 2018. Fabrication will be carried out primarily at Canam Group’s Quebec City and Laval plants in Quebec and the Claremont plant in New Hampshire.

The new bridge will span the St. Lawrence River from Île-des-Sœurs to Brossard, immediately downstream from the existing Champlain Bridge.
