The grand opening of the $35-million Jack Tennant Memorial Bridge in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada, was recently celebrated with a fireworks show. PCL Construction served as the general contractor.
Named after the longtime Cochrane resident, the Jack Tennant Memorial Bridge does what he was best known for: connect the community. The new three-span bridge provides a second connection across the Bow River, providing an alternative route for Cochrane residents traveling from the north and south sides of the town.
To ensure the successful construction of the Jack Tennant Memorial Bridge, the project team took to the water. The team installed in-river berms and cofferdams to accommodate the wildlife and changing seasons during construction.
