Permanent repairs coming for Othello stretch of Coquihalla Highway
Permanent repairs to the Othello section of the Coquihalla Highway 5 will begin soon, making the route more resilient than it was before last November’s storms.
“This marks another milestone in our recovery from the atmospheric river events that severely damaged our highway infrastructure last fall,” said Rob Fleming, B.C. Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “We’re working quickly to build permanent infrastructure back at a better, more climate-resilient standard that will protect the movement of people and goods through our province.”Emil Anderson and Chawathil First Nation have a $4.6 million contract for the job.
As work proceeds, motorists are warned to expect delays, including possible periods of single-lane alternating traffic and short, intermittent full closures. Travellers can check DriveBC.ca for updates.
