CAMPBELLTON, N.B. — Work on the J.C. Van Horne Bridge is progressing on schedule and is expected to be completed by the end of October.

Crews have been replacing the deck of the bridge all summer on the approach spans in phase two of the two-year project.

“This year’s portion of the work is 80 per cent complete,” says Fernand Babin, the client service unit director with Public Works and Government Services Canada.

Work on the New Brunswick side of the bridge is nearly complete, with workers now removing forms for the concrete. On the Quebec side, concrete will be poured this week.

Once complete, a layer of asphalt will be used to cover the concrete sometime in October.
