City Approves More Funding For Bridge Repairs

It's going to cost almost a million dollars more to repair the Winnipeg West Branch Bridge than
initially projected.

Operations manager Rick Perchuck says they discovered some issues with the concrete arch
while doing work on the bridge last summer.

He says fortunately they won't have to close the bridge in order to do the work.

Innovative Civil Constructors Inc. had the lowest of four bids for the project at 946 thousand
dollars.
