Aecon Group announced that Aecon-led consortiums have been awarded three civil-construction contracts for projects in British Columbia.

Aecon’s interest in two of the contacts is valued at $119 million with the third contract commencing under a development phase agreement.

Aecon-Emil Anderson Construction General Partnership (AEGP), a 50/50 consortium between Aecon and Emil Anderson Construction, has been selected for the BC Highway Reinstatement Program – Highway 8, Category B Project under a progressive alliance contract model.

AEGP will work during a 10-month development phase to finalize the design, scope and target cost of the project, with construction expected to commence in Q2 2025 and completion in late 2026. The scope of work includes replacing two temporary structures with permanent bridges and building approximately three kilometres of connecting highway approximately 15 kilometres east of Spences Bridge.

AEGP has also been awarded a contract by the Province of British Columbia for the R.W. Bruhn Bridge Replacement Project. The scope of work includes building a new four-lane bridge with a multi-use pedestrian and cyclist path connecting to the Trans-Canada Highway in Sicamous, widening 1.9 kilometres of highway to four lanes, and upgrading intersections between Old Sicamous Road and Silver Sands Road. Construction is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2024, with anticipated completion in the second quarter of 2027.
