The survey found that 61 per cent of civil and engineering contractors expect to have less work this year and 25 per cent said they need government help to survive COVID-19.
Fifty-six per cent indicate there have been fewer municipal projects available to bid on since July 1.
“The results of this survey reinforce our message that the federal government must provide the necessary funds for municipalities to get moving on state-of-good-repair (SOGR) projects,” said the Alliance’s executive director Andy Manahan.
“Without adequate funding in place, municipalities are pulling back on infrastructure projects which will lead to job losses and hamper our economic recovery.”
