Accession consists of drawings from several different projects including (but not limited to) the 1965 study for a crossing of the Northumberland Strait; bridges for the Alaska Highway; Banff, Jasper, Yoho, and Waterton National Park bridges.

The first portion of the registration consists of architectural drawings from the 1965-1969 Northumberland Strait crossing study. This study investigated several different possible options for a crossing including a tunnel, closed causeway, open causeway, bridge and combination of the above. The result of the study was an improvement of the existing ferry service. The fixed crossing between Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick was constructed on the site of the previous study. Investigated options included options for highway, as well as highway and railway connections between Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. Drawings in this collection include high level drawings which show the general layout of the different options as well as much more detailed drawings including electrical systems. For additional records related to the Northumberland Strait project see BAN 1998-01888-1.

The second portion of the registration consists of architectural drawings covering a large variety of different projects, including the Alaska Highway, the Trans-Canada Highway, as well as miscellaneous other projects.
