Canada's construction news
HALIFAX — The Nova Scotia government has announced a $258-million plan for a new high-speed ferry service that will link Halifax with Bedford, a rapidly growing suburb about 10 kilometres northwest of the port city’s downtown.
The province will contribute $65 million, Ottawa will kick in $155 million and the Halifax Regional Municipality will spend $38 million on the Mill Cove ferry service. The project calls for the construction of five electric ferries, a new ferry terminal in Bedford, and a new terminal in Halifax to replace the existing waterfront facility.
Nova Scotia Environment Minister Timothy Halman says the net-zero ferries and terminals will not produce air pollution. As well, a new bridge will be built over a CN Rail line in Bedford to provide access to the Mill Cove terminal.CIB and First Nations Bank of Canada announce $100 million loan participation agreementCIB commits $138.
