QEW / Credit River Improvement Project reaches financial close

On December 15, 2020, Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO) awarded a fixed-price contract of $313.8 million to EllisDon and Coco Paving (EDCO) to design, build and finance the QEW / Credit River Improvement Project. The project is being delivered through IO's design, build and finance Public-Private Partnership (P3) model.

The Project involves the construction of a new twin bridge north of the existing Credit River Bridge and the rehabilitation of the existing Credit River Bridge, in addition to widening and improving the QEW and improvements to a nearby interchange and overpass.

Gowling WLG advised IO and the MTO in connection with the Project with a team that included Merie-Anne Beavis, Lindsay Wong and Jessica Ho-Wo-Cheong.
