THUNDER BAY – City council has given the green light to a nearly $6.5 million replacement of the Edward Street Bridge, with work expected to begin in May and last into the fall.
Councillors voted unanimously Monday to award the tender for the project to local construction company LH North Ltd., which submitted the lowest bid for the project at $6,458,418.95 (corrected).
The bid from LH North came in over $400,000 below that of its closest competitor, with three companies submitting bids. LH North also beat the city’s pre-tender estimate of $7.1 million by well over half a million dollars.
