That's what the contract says

There's no need to work through the winter at St. Mary's. They have all summer to get it done.

In addition to the upcoming McGillivray and Ste. Anne's projects, don't forget about the south perimeter Red River bridge rehab/new build study. I'd expect this to be a template of sorts for the future north perimeter bridge project.

I would assume they are going to widen or add another bridge over the river to match the widening of the highway on either side.

I think they will add a new bridge to the south of existing.

At ultimate design, it will be the WB lanes. Existing bridge rehabbed to be the EB lanes.

Prelim design will sort out staging, etc. I also have no clue on timing of this. But there is a lot of other work to be done on south perimeter in advance of requiring the new bridge to accommodate 6 lanes. Maybe they can design it so the deck can be widened in the future.

WB lanes are always the north side and EB lanes always the south side. I think you got the directions flipped and the new bridge would be built to the south for the EB lanes.

Can someone explain the need for the tent on the bridge? I haven't seen this on other bridges. Especially considering it in on in the warmer months.

Maybe theyre pouring concrete and the saw the forecast calling for rain. I think it's supposed to rain tmrw.

MTI requires those structures on all large bridge projects

Any insiders that might have a revised timeline for the St Mary's interchange completion on here? MTI's page said June 2024 but they are a ways off yet.

They've started some of the major paving (asphalt) sections, such as the WB lanes approaching the bridge and the ramps with that.

What is the purpose? Is it simply to contain materials/debris that could affect traffic below?

I think to ensure consistency during pours. Page 11.
