The Laker News inquired after reading some comments from people after the bids from the tender were posted upon them closing. Four companies put in bids for the project.
Bayer said the province is replacing Hyde’s Bridge, which was a one-lane wooded bridge, with a two-lane regular type of bridge.
It was originally tendered and canceled in 2022 due to industry capacity and cost.
“The bridge was re-tendered and remains closed,” she said.
