The Province wanted to hear from Ottawa concerning the Harbour Bridge and here we go.
A letter is on it’s way to Premier Graham outlining a proposal.
Ottawa is willing to forgive the bridge’s out-standing debt and withdraw from the Authority and will provide $17.5 million toward repairs.
In return, the bridge becomes part of Highway One with the province responsible for all future costs and the tolls are removed immediately.
MP Rodney Weston tells CHSJ News, this would have happened much sooner if the Graham Government had been involved.
Another piece of the proposal is City Hall would no longer be responsible for further costs to the Harbour Bridge.
