SNC-Lavalin, Acciona win Calgary highway contract
Chinook Roads Partnership, SNC-Lavalin’s joint venture with Acciona, has been awarded a $769-million contract from Alberta Transportation to design, build, operate, maintain and partially finance the southeast section of Calgary's Stoney Trail Ring Road.
Under the 30-year public-private partnership (P3) contract, Chinook Roads Partnership will design and build 25 kilometres of six-lane road, including nine interchanges, one road flyover, two rail flyovers and 27 bridge structures.
“In terms of scope, it is the largest single highway project in Alberta's history,” SNC-Lavalin said in a news release.
Once the project is completed, the partnership will operate and maintain the road and other existing infrastructure for the duration of the 30-year contract.
Construction is set to begin in May 2010 and the road is scheduled to be open to traffic by the fall of 2013.
