The Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated (JCCBI) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Federal Bridge Corporation Limited (FBCL), a crown corporation reporting to Transport Canada.

JCCBI 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 Corporation’s mission is to manage, develop, and maintain the Jacques Cartier Bridge, The Champlain Bridge, the Bonaventure Expressway, the federal section of the Honoré-Mercier Bridge, the Melocheville Tunnel and the Champlain Bridge ice control structure in order to provide users with a safe and effective crossing.
