Two down and one to go.....that is the scenario for the Harbour Bridge Authority as it continues it's quest to lock up repair money. City Hall and the Province have given approval with Ottawa left to give thumbs up. The Authority has a pension fund willing to guarantee the cash and Anthony tells CHSJ News, They would like to have the tenders out by the end of this month and construction started by the first of May.


Anthony has said many times if repairs aren't carried out this year, weight and speed restrictions will have to be put in place for the structure.
The number of vehicles that use the bridge is ten million a year and between 25 and 40,000 a day.
