REPRESENTATIVE PROJECT EXPERIENCE Featured Project Descriptions Fredericton-Moncton Highway Project Toll Highway (FMHP) Project Name: Fredericton-Moncton Highway Project (FMHP) Project Location: Trans-Canada Highway between Fredericton and Moncton, New Brunswick Value: $585 million Status: Completed Description: The first P3 highway project in New Brunswick.

It consists of 195 km of four-lane divided Trans-Canada Highway (Route 2) and approximately 12 km of four-lane divided highway connectors (Routes 1, 7, 8). There are 21 interchanges (15 full and 3 partial interchanges along with 3 high-speed connecting interchanges to other major highways) and over 100 structures on the facility including 73 bridges (Saint John River bridge and Jemseg River bridge, each approximately 1 km long) and numerous large pipe arch culverts, and wildlife passages under the highway. Four maintenance depots located along the highway corridor serve as the bases of highway operations and were also constructed as part of the highway design-build project.

During the third season of the highway construction, a change in the Provincial policy prompted the removal of toll collection on the FMHP. This resulted in removal of all tolling infrastructure constructed up to that point in time, including several tolling plazas and support facilities.

New Brunswick Route 1 Gateway Project (R1GP) Project Name: New Brunswick Route 1 Gateway Project (R1GP) Project Location: Route 1 Highway between USA/Canada border in St. Stephen and the Route 1/Route 2 connector in

River Glade, NB Value: $540 million Status: Completed Description: The third P3 highway project in New Brunswick.

The R1GP consists of the design-build of 59 km of new main four-lane highway, 5 new or modifications to existing interchanges and associated crossing roads and numerous access roads, and selected upgrades along the existing four-lane sections of Route 1. The R1GP crosses through three groundwater wellfield sources, has over 180 watercourse crossings, 34 new bridge structures (11 river crossings and 23 grade separations (8 major river crossings under NWPA)), replacement of 2 bridge structures and widening of 1 existing structure, over 250 culverts of various shapes and sizes, over 100 km of wildlife fencing and several wildlife passages under the highway.

A previously unknown archaeological site was discovered in one of the design-build sections after the start of construction. The archaeological site was determined to be Paleoindian age (approximately 11,000 years old) and is one of the oldest sites in Northeastern North America. Given the significance of the find and the length of time that would be required to adequately investigate and mitigate construction impacts to the site, avoidance was recommended and alternative alignments had to be considered. This resulted in realigning approximately 3 km of the highway approximately 200 m north of the original alignment.
