Alexandra Bridge Replacement
- Thread starter J.OT13
- Start date
From the NCC Board Meeting, 100% design. Having trouble seeing the difference from what they presented last time.
RFP out now and will be awarded in Spring for a 2028 start date (demo I assume).
Bridge will be slightly north of the current bridge and it seems the grades might be less steep. Leaving space on the Hull side for a future monument. Stones from the old bridge's piers will be reused will be used on abutment walls on both sides.

Full presentation 32:40 mark.

Yes, look a lot more flat and less steep than the current bridge. I really hope they follow through with the lighting, that would look very nice at night.
