Fixed Link between Labrador and Newfoundland Pre-Feasibility Study

Abstract

The concept of providing a fixed transportation link between the Island of Newfoundland and Labrador across the Strait of Belle Isle has been the subject of discussion for many years. In early 2004, the Public Policy Research Centre of Memorial University, acting on behalf of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador requested a proposal from independent consultants to conduct a study of fixed link concepts at a pre-feasibility level. In April, 2004, the Policy Centre awarded a contract for the study to Hatch Mott MacDonald.
