One day after chunks of ice crashed down on more than 100 vehicles on the Port Mann bridge, the minister responsible now has something to say about it.
“Absolutely unacceptable”.
Two words Mary Polak used repeatedly during a lengthy news conference near the bridge.
And the Transportation Minister is blaming contractor Kiewit Flatiron, saying it, and not taxpayers,will pay for a fix.
“I can’t speak to what interactions may have taken place between contractors and between those who do the actual on the ground work what I can speak to is that we were alive to this as a potential problem and therefore we specified within the contract what our requirements were. Clearly what we saw yesterday shows that we did not meet those requirements.”
The news conference did not feature anyone from Kiewit Flatiron so we have yet to hear the company’s side of the story.
