Liberals Question How High The Cost Of Bridge Upgrades Will Go

As we begin to deal with more construction related delays on the Harbour Bridge -- the Opposition Liberals are still sounding the alarm over the final cost of upgrades now underway.

Transportation critic Rick Doucette says there are no guarantees in place that Ottawa will shoulder any of the costs.

Transportation Minister Claude Williams announced yesterday phase 2 of the upgrades to the eastbound lanes will begin immediately and be spread over two construction seasons while tenders for demolition of the toll plaza will go out by the end of this month. That work is expected to be completed by the fall.
