Sault Star reports, “International Bridge traffic volume isn’t expected to be much different in the new year than it was in 2016. Sault Ste. Marie Bridge Authority is anticipating 1.43 million crossings between the Twin Saults in 2017. With 1,435,490 crossings last year, that estimate anticipates no growth in the next 12 months.” The article adds, “A painting project for the Canadian bridge arch will be put out for tender later this month. An earlier effort to find a contractor to do the work resulted in bids that were ‘significantly’ over what was budgeted. . . .”
