An advocacy group for the Canadian steel sector is pinning construction delays on B.C.’s Pattullo Bridge replacement, in part, on the use of steel from China. “That steel came from Asia and both cost jobs in the Lower Mainland in B.C. and cost time,” Keenan Loomis, president and CEO of the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction, told Global News on Thursday. “I think that if the decision had gone to Canadian fabricators, that right now there would be cars driving over the Pattullo Bridge.” The new four-lane Pattullo replacement was originally meant to be complete by 2023, but now has a target date of late 2025. The estimated price tag has also increased from $1.37 billion to $1.64 billion. As Global's Aaron McArthur reports, critics are now raising safety concerns.
