Nova Scotia’s government revealed its strategy to replace the Seal Island Bridge, commencing a rehabilitation plan to address the deteriorating structure. The bridge, requiring major repairs and nearing the end of its lifespan within 15 years, led authorities to consider a replacement, as disclosed by the Department of Public Works. This multi-million dollar project aims to extend the bridge’s life while evaluating alternatives for its replacement, which could take around a decade for consultations, planning, design, and construction, as estimated by officials closely involved with the endeavor. The initiative addresses the urgent need to ensure safe and reliable infrastructure for residents and travelers in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
