Marid was the general contractor working directly for the Province of New Brunswick to complete updates to the Princess Margaret Bridge in Fredericton, NB.
The scope of work included changing bearings and installing over 90 tons of truss reinforcement steel. Most of the bearing replacement required us to use four 530 ton jacks to lift the bridge.
This project required around the clock attention from a 16 ironworker crew, approximately 20,000 man hours, and many other sub-contractors to ensure it was completed on schedule and budget for all parties involved.
The Princess Margaret Bridge is 1.1 kilometres long and is a 23-span steel structure. It was built from 1957-59 and at that time, it was one of the largest and most modern bridges in New Brunswick .
