Aecon wins Alberta Transportation contract to twin 13-kilometre section of Highway 21
EDMONTON
Aecon Group Inc. has been awarded a contract by Alberta Transportation to twin a 13-kilometre section of Highway 21 near Edmonton.
The $81-million contract is the largest civil construction project Aecon has received since opening its civil construction office in Alberta in 2006.
“This latest award is important for our civil business in Alberta because it clearly establishes Aecon as a player in the northern Alberta transportation infrastructure market,” said Teri McKibbon, CEO, Aecon Infrastructure.
Aecon’s other civil infrastructure projects in the province include construction of five bridges for Calgary’s new ring road, an open-cut tunnel for Edmonton’s LRT, construction of 10 storage tank foundations for Shell Canada and other civil works, as well as two projects for BA Energy and Kinder Morgan Canada, undertaken in conjunction with Aecon’s Industrial division.
Aecon Group Inc. is Canada’s largest publicly traded construction and infrastructure development company.
