‘Long-term solution’ for Taylor Bridge still underway by province
The provincial government continues to “determine a long-term solution” for Taylor Bridge, which crosses the Peace River between Fort St. John and Dawson Creek in northern British Columbia.
The bridge, spanning 712 metres, opened in 1960 and about 7,500 vehicles drive across it every day, according to provincial figures. Commercial vehicles carrying goods throughout the Peace region and into the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Alaska account for 30 per cent of all traffic.But this major piece of northern infrastructure is getting long in the tooth and former Fort St. John mayor Lori Ackerman has called it the holiest bridge in B.C.
