| Description: | Page 1 of a draft article outlining the design and construction of the Charleswood Bridge in suburban Winnipeg. The article also describes the unique circumstances surrounding the project as the first major public works project in Canada to be financed by the private sector. The public-private partnership specifies that the construction firm, DBF Ltd., will design, build and pay for the bridge, and then lease it back to the City over a period of 30 years, saving Winnipeg about $2 million over the life of the project. |
