As of last week, a work crew from Hudson Bay had begun the preliminary site work at the bridge spanning the Assiniboine River west of Kamsack on Highway No. 5.
On April 24, a crew of eight with HB Construction of Hudson Bay, began cleanup and laying down netting to deter birds from nesting in the area, in preparation to begin a full bridge replacement.
鈥淲e鈥檒l finish this phase around April 30,鈥� said Matthew Haugen, site foreman. 鈥淲e鈥檒l return near the end of June to begin the bridge replacement.鈥�
The project will include a complete single-lane traffic bypass controlled by traffic lights. The work is expected to continue throughout the summer, concluding in September.
