Nouveau pont de L’Île-Bizard | Montréal poursuit deux entrepreneurs pour 14 millions

AI Article Summary
The City of Montreal is suing two engineering and architecture firms for $14 million due to delays and cost overruns in the construction of the new L'Île-Bizard Bridge. Originally estimated at $75 million, the project ultimately cost around $90 million and faced a one-year delay, with the bridge opening in November 2024 instead of late 2023. The city attributes these issues to design errors and inappropriate construction methods used by AtkinsRéalis and Provencher Roy, which allegedly did not address geotechnical uncertainties. The delay caused additional costs and disrupted local events like the Presidents Cup golf tournament.
