Nipigon Cable

The new Nipigon River Bridge east of Thunder Bay, Ontario is the first cable-stayed structure on the Ontario TransCanada Highway system. The project started in 2013 on this four-lane, two-span bridge which will replace an aging, two-lane structure. The new bridge has three precast concrete towers with cables supporting a 252m bridge deck and separate sidewalk for pedestrians. The center pier reaches a height of 51m above the bridge deck.
