The Corporation and its Mission
The
Corporation
The Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges is financed mainly
through parliamentary appropriations. Revenues from other sources such as
leases and licenses also contribute to its funding but in a minor way.
The Corporations' main activities fall into two specific sectors, namely
Engineering and Construction, and Operations and Maintenance.
Administrative departments, such as Legal Affairs, Procurement, Finance
and Human Resources, support these two sectors.
The Engineering and Construction department manages the activities related
to major construction, renovation and repair projects that specifically
target the components of civil and road engineering structures, such as
piers, beams, decks, steel structures, foundations, pavement and painting.
The Operations and Maintenance department specifically oversees and
manages contracts for snow removal, the spreading of abrasives, road
cleaning and maintenance, landscaping, replacement of guardrails, sealing
cracks and lubricating berings, maintenance and operation of systems that
control lane signals, surveillance cameras, electrical distribution and
road lighting.
The Sûreté du Québec polices the Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges,
the Bonaventure Expressway and the Champlain Bridge ice control structure
(Estacade) under the terms of a contractual agreement.
Since 1982, a reserved bus lane has been operational at rush hours on the
Champlain Bridge. A provincial government agency responsible for public
transit operates the reserved lane.
The Corporation's Bord of Directors is made up
of five members, named by The Federal Bridge Corporation Limited.
The Corporation presently employs 44
people.
As an employer, the Corporation is committed to providing a workplace where
all employees are treated with respect, dignity and fairness. The implementation
and circulation of internal policies on harassment and discrimination in the workplace
and on internal disclosure of wrongdoings in the workplace are useful tools to this end.
The Corporation's Mission
The mission of The Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated
is to manage, operate and maintain the Jacques Cartier and Champlain
bridges, the Bonaventure Expressway, the federally owned section of the
Honoré Mercier Bridge, the Melocheville Tunnel and the Champlain Bridge
Ice Control Structure in order to provide the public with safe and
efficient transport.
