Repair and Maintenance Program At a technical briefing this morning, The Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated (JCCBI) presented its report on major projects carried out in 2015. The ambitious program established at the start of the season was completed despite a highly challenging work environment. Again this year, JCCBI completed maintenance and repair work on its entire network to ensure user safety, Greater Montreal mobility, and infrastructure longevity.
