Ontario, Canada:   COWI , a leading international engineering consulting group, and heavy civil construction organization, Bot Construction Group, approach a critical stage in the cantilever construction of the William Halton Parkway crossing. The project will see the construction of two new bridges over the Sixteen Mile Creek in Oakville by the Region of Halton as part of the William Halton Parkway extension project. Spanning 280 meters, the bridges will each host two lanes and pedestrian walkways. Once completed, the new bridges will connect Third Line to Neyagawa Blvd with the north and south bound bridges easing traffic congestion in an area of growing population. The three span segmental bridge is being built by utilizing a cast-in-place segmental construction technique using a moveable form traveler system.
