A new replacement bridge across the Petitcodiac River was constructed by the New Brunswick Department of Transportation, linking the communities of Moncton, Riverview, and Dieppe, or the Greater Moncton Area (GMA). Further work to enhance connections to the new Gunningsville Bridge is underway through the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund (CSIF) Agreement for Municipal Bypass Projects. Once these projects are completed, the bridge will have access controlled connections that will serve as a vital urban transportation corridor by creating an inner GMA cross-river loop concept. This will contribute to an enhanced quality of life by protecting the environment and, at the same time, support the long-term economic growth and greater prosperity of the GMA. This project was nominated for the TAC 2005 Sustainable Urban Transportation Award. For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD number E211521.
