Introduction The purpose of this report is to analyze available traffic statistics for commercial vehicles (CVs) traveling Yellowknife Highway (No. 3), and crossing the Mackenzie River (Deh Cho) at Fort Providence, and forecast future CV traffic to a 35 year timeline. A permanent bridge has been considered for the crossing at various times since the Yellowknife Highway (No. 3) was completed in 1968. Such a structure would eliminate the current seasonal crossing delays due to ice conditions, water levels, mechanical breakdowns, and the suspension of services during spring breakup. The Fort Providence Combined Council Alliance, composed of leaders of Fort Providence’s Dene, Metis, and Hamlet Councils, has submitted a proposal to the GNWT to privately construct and operate the bridge under public/private financing partnership arrangement.

  • Design and Construction of Extradosed Bridges in Cold Temperature and Seismic Zones
    Design and Construction of Extradosed Bridges in Cold Temperature and Seismic Zones Dr. Matthias Schueller, P.Eng. Vice President Parsons Structures Session 2020 TAC Conference & Exhibition Abstract Extradosed bridges are often described as a cross of a conventional prestressed concrete girder bridge and a traditional cable-stayed bridge because most extradosed bridges built combine a prestressed concrete superstructure with stay-cable technologies. However, this simple definition does not capture the various possible structural systems and different materials that can be found and used for extradosed bridges. Extradosed bridge technology is much more than a prestressed concrete girder with external tendons. The Deh Cho Bridge in the Northwest Territories and the Canal Lachine Bridge in Montréal are two Canadian extradosed bridges featuring steel superstructures with slender composite concrete decks using full-depth precast panels. Although both bridges are very different, they share one important design aspect which governed the design of their superstructures: Both bridges are located in regions with prolonged extreme cold winter periods. Temperatures below 0 °C and cold weather periods lasting up to five months can be a major hindrance when erecting long bridges with conventional concrete superstructures. On the contrary, steel superstructures are light and can be quickly erected, even at cold temperatures without heating and hording given that field welding is avoided. To avoid delays along the critical path in the erection of major superstructures in extreme cold temperature zones, designers should consider erection schemes which make best use of short warm weather periods and reduce negative impacts related to harsh weather conditions as best as possible.

Introduction The purpose of this report is to analyze available traffic statistics for commercial vehicles (CVs) traveling Yellowknife Highway (No. 3), and crossing the Mackenzie River (Deh Cho) at Fort Providence, and to update a previous (September, 2002) forecast of existing and future CV traffic to a 35 year timeline. A permanent bridge has been considered for the crossing at various times since the Yellowknife Highway (No. 3) was completed in 1968. Such a structure would eliminate the current seasonal crossing delays due to ice conditions, water levels, mechanical breakdowns, and the suspension of services during spring breakup. As with most large civil projects in Western Canada, construction costs have escalated substantially faster than the national inflation rate, resulting in a need to re-visit the underlying economics of the bridge investment.

    TRANSPORTATION 2013-14 Department of Transportation 1. DEPARTMENT DETAILS MISSION The Department of Transportation’s mission is to provide for the safe, secure, accessible, and reliable movement of people and goods to serve the social and economic needs and aspirations of the people of the Northwest Territories. GOALS 1. The NWT transportation system continues to improve. 2. The NWT has an ongoing high level of Northern business and employment opportunities in the public and private transportation sectors. 3. The NWT has a safe and secure transportation system in all modes. 4. The department has a high performance workplace that is adaptable, effective, efficient and innovative in delivering programs and services. 5. The department will continue to ensure that the high quality of the NWT environment is maintained. 6. The department supports local transportation infrastructure. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT Focusing Investments Demand from industry and the public is increasing for new roads, improved all-weather and winter roads, and airport runway extensions to support development, inter-community travel, and a reduced cost of living in communities across the NWT. In recent years, the federal government allocated a large amount of infrastructure funding under various programs including the Canadian Strategic Investment Fund and the Building Canada Plan. The GNWT also invested in transportation infrastructure through the Reducing the Cost of Living Strategic Initiative. As these programs sunset, the Department must explore new partnership opportunities and financing alternatives for capital project delivery. Federal and territorial investments in NWT infrastructure Main Estimates 90 80 70 60 Million) ($ 50 40 30 20 Investments 10 0 2008‐09 2009‐10 2010‐11 2011‐12 2012‐13 As indicated in the graph above, federal and territorial investments into transportation infrastructure in the NWT are on the decline since the 2010-11 fiscal years.
