Province Will Handle Snow Removal On Harbour Bridge

The Department of Transportation will do the winter maintenance for the Saint John Harbour Bridge.


The question of who will clear the snow and ice off the bridge was left in the air after the province took ownership of the bridge from Ottawa.


Transportation Minister Claude Williams says it will cost the province 275-thousand dollars and two other options were looked at : getting the city to do it or to outsource it to contractor.
 
The two plows that were used by the Saint John Harbour Bridge authority will be used by the Department of Transportation to plow the bridge.
