POLL: Provincial promises bring PA one step closer to second bridge
A new shift in talks about a second bridge in Prince Albert may bring the city one step closer to making this dream a reality.
Premier Brad Wall was in Prince Albert Monday morning at Prince Albert Northcote MLA Victoria Jurgens' constituency office with an announcement that could be a game-changer in the bridge debate.
“I’ve talked about it in generalities, but I want to confirm today for the people of Prince Albert and area that our provincial government is committed to funding our share of a second bridge for the city of Prince Albert,” said Wall. “We do believe that a second bridge for Prince Albert would be eligible as a P3 Canada Project.”
This would, however, require an agreement from both the city and the federal government. According to Wall, those bases may be covered as well.
