Team Gushue Highway Interchange Study
Harbourside Transportation Consultants was retained by the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Transportation and Works to complete a detailed traffic analysis on the Team Gushue Highway and the existing Pitts Memorial Drive and Robert E. Howlett Memorial Drive interchange. Work began with a review of past transportation planning documents, models, and traffic studies followed by stakeholder consultations to identify regional growth and development projections. The end goal was to develop alternatives for connecting these and ancillary roadways.
Bakers Brook Bridge Replacement Approach
In 2016, Harbourside Transportation Consultants designed the new approach for the replacement of the Bakers Brook Bridge in Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland, as part of a series of bridge replacements undertaken by Harbourside Engineering Group for Parks Canada. Harbourside completed the design of the vertical and horizontal alignments, from initial concept layouts through to detailed design and tender for the new approach for the Bakers Brook Bridge Replacement.
Deer Arm Brook Bridge Replacement Approach
The Deer Arm Brook bridge in Gros Morne, Newfoundland, was slotted for replacement in 2016. Harbourside Transportation Consultants completed the design of the vertical and horizontal alignments, from initial concept layouts through to the detailed design and tender for the new approaches for the bridge replacement. Alternative alignment options for reconstructing the approaches for the new bridge were based on the Transportation Association of Canada Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads (TAC) for a design speed of 90 kilometers per hour.
MacKenzie River Bridge Replacement
Harbourside Transportation Consultants completed the design of the vertical and horizontal alignments, from initial concept layouts through to detailed design and tender, for the new approaches for the MacKenzie Bridge Replacement in 2016. The objective of the alignment design was to be able to construct the new bridge while maintaining traffic on the existing structure and improving the geometry on the roadway approaches. The updated bridge now meets modern guidelines, making it much safer than its predecessor.
Dicks Brook Bridge Replacement Approach
In 2014, the Dick’s Brook Bridge Replacement project marked the first of several bridge replacement projects in Gros Morne, Newfoundland. Harbourside Transportation Consultants completed the design of the vertical and horizontal alignments, from initial concept layouts through to detailed design and tender for the new approaches. Using detailed design and thorough evaluation, the new bridge is modernized and compliant to TAC guidelines, ensuring safe travel through Newfoundland’s most famous park.
