New Brunswick taxpayers will have to pay up to $4 million to repair a major bridge in the Northwest Territories that was partially built by a New Brunswick firm.
A construction audit released by the N.W.T. government this week has identified a number of problems with Atcon Construction's work on the the Deh Cho Bridge project, which is being built across the Mackenzie River.
Atcon was the Deh Cho Bridge's general contractor until January 2010, when it was removed from the $182-million megaproject because it couldn't agree on terms for the second phase of construction with the bridge's developer.
