RFP closed for QEW Garden City Skyway – Bridge Twinning project

NIAGARA, ONT. — Infrastructure Ontario has announced the Requests for Proposals (RFP) stage has closed for teams to submit bids for the QEW Garden City Skyway – Bridge Twinning project in the Regional Municipality of Niagara.

The project includes a new 2.2-kilometre twin bridge which will be built north of the existing bridge across the Welland Canal.

Following a Request for Qualifications process, five teams were shortlisted and invited to respond to an RFP in March 2024.

The following teams submitted their proposals by deadline: Garden City Connectors, Peter Kiewit Sons ULC, Skyway Bridging Partners, and SkyTwin Partners (formerly AtkinsRealisMajor Projects Inc.).

Proposals will now be evaluated by Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO).

The top-ranked team will enter into a development phase, expected to start in spring 2025, explains a release.

Once the development phase is complete, IO and MTO will have the option to enter into a project agreement for the construction of the new bridge with the successful team.
