The Kingston Third Crossing Bridge was recently featured by Bridge Design & Engineering, highlighting the bridge that will improve emergency services, increase active transportation through a multi-use pedestrian and bike pathway, create greater business connectivity and enhance the quality of life for the residents and visitors of Kingston. "During the detailed design phase, through collaboration with the contractor and owner. Hatch and Systra-lBT conducted bridge optimisation through structural analyses, significantly reducing quantities with estimated cost savings of U$9.6 million. In accordance with the approved environmental assessment, the bridge was designed for a minimum 100-year design life, exceeding the 75-year design life requirement of the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code.
