Canada's construction news

A highway project to support a speed limit increase is among the projects underway in the Niagara Region by area contractor Rankin Construction.

When asked what provisions were being taken to account for the increased speed, Rankin Construction officials confirmed they were using materials that have improved friction resistance. The original design was based on construction operations being completed in four separate segments which had two construction stages per segment. The first segment starts at the west limit, just east of the ramps to and from the QEW, and segment four starts near the Stanely Avenue ramps and extends to the Queenston Lewiston Bridge.

Two main change proposals were executed, the first in the fall of 2023 that included detouring westbound traffic completely off of Hwy. 405 between the Queenston Lewiston Bridge and Stanley Avenue, allowing full highway closure in segment four westbound and completion of work in that segment in a single stage.
