Replace Main Entry Bridge – 14 Wing/CFB Greenwood

The Department of National Defence (DND) is proposing a project. The proposed Project consists of the replacement of the Main Entrance Bridge at 14 Wing Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Greenwood. The existing structure will be removed and replaced with a new bridge designed to meet current operational, safety, and infrastructure requirements while maintaining access to the base. The Project will be completed in several phases, including:

  • Site Mobilization, including establishment of access, staging areas, and environmental protection measures;
  • Demolition of the existing bridge deck and associated in-stream structures, with temporary retention of abutments where required for site isolation;
  • Foundation work, including construction of new footings to support the replacement bridge;
  • Trenching and utility installation, including directional drilling as required;
  • Bridge installation, involving placement of precast bridge components; and
  • Roadworks, including installation of guardrails, signage, and surface restoration.
