Shubenacadie River Bridge Replacements Project
The Shubenacadie River Bridges were twin 4 span structures, each with a total span of approximately 195 meters, constructed in 1975. Failure of the expansion joints at each end of each bridge allowed salt laden water to spill onto the steel superstructure below. This resulted in excessive corrosion of the ends of the steel box girders. Harbourside identified poor workmanship in the fabrication of the girders as well as overall poor detailing to address fatigue issues.
