The environmental assessment for this project began on January 22, 2012. It examines the project's impacts on the environment and proposes ways to mitigate them. It will also influence the bridge design and construction techniques and will help guide decisions that respect the environment.
An initial series of open houses on the description of the project and the environment was held in December 2012. The second series of open houses on the effects of the project on the environment and the proposed mitigation measures will take place in April 2013 at the following locations:
The second part of the environmental assessment report is now available on the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency's website at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca.
We welcome your written comments on topics covered in the second part of the report and during the open houses until May 19, 2013. We will take these comments into consideration during the next steps of the environmental assessment.
