TORONTO — A $248-million contract for section one of the F.G. Gardiner Expressway Rehabilitation project has been awarded to Aecon Group Inc. by the City of Toronto.
The project is a segment of the City of Toronto’s overall F.G. Gardiner Strategic Rehabilitation Plan, which will see the rehabilitation of the entire expressway, indicates a release issued by Aecon.
The scope of work includes the full superstructure replacement of the expressway between Cherry Street and Jarvis Street, an approximately 1.1 kilometre long section; the rehabilitation of three ramps; and the installation of new street lighting as well as a Road Emergency Services Communication Unit system.
“This project is a strong fit for Aecon’s industry leading capabilities in road and heavy civil construction,” said John Beck, president and CEO of Aecon Group Inc., in a statement. “The F.G. Gardiner Expressway is a critical roadway that moves over 200,000 people daily and we’re proud to lead this important component of the Strategic Rehabilitation Plan.”
Construction on the project will commence soon, with an expected completion date by the end of 2020.
“Aecon’s Infrastructure segment has achieved notable major project wins in recent months which have increased backlog to record levels and this award further demonstrates our ability to secure critical infrastructure work across Canada,” said Mark Rivett, executive vice-president of Aecon Infrastructure.
