During the closure of the Trans-Canada Highway in late September and early October, crews finished the last major concrete pour on the project.
WATCH: Drone footage taken in March 2022 by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation shows progress on the widening of the Trans-Canada Highway in the Kicking Horse Canyon area, near the Alberta border. On Tuesday, officials announced that the area will be closed to traffic between the Easter and Victoria Day weekends – Apr 5, 2022“The Trans-Canada Highway in the Kicking Horse Canyon is more than a scenic road in the mountains.
“Very soon, commuters will be able to drive along this newly expanded highway, allowing more people to get to where they need to go safely and efficiently.”Approximately five kilometres of narrow, two-lane highway east of Golden, B.C., have been transformed over the last three years, and preparations are being made to transition traffic onto the new highway and bridges by the beginning of December 2023.
The remaining eastbound lanes on the Bighorn Viaduct were completed earlier this year, and construction focused on the new westbound lanes plus associated walls and rockfall protections through the project. In late September and early October, crews finished the last major concrete pour on the project and completed the Lynx, Elk and Caribou viaducts.Ontario police warn of escaped African serval cat, say it can attack pets
While minimal work is expected during the winter, final work on the project, including top-lift paving, will occur in spring 2024 and will require additional traffic management in the run-up to final completion.B.C. Transportation Minister Claire Trevena said in 2019 that widening and realigning a 4.8-kilometre stretch of the Trans Canada Highway east of Golden, B.C., was expected to cost $601 million — an increase over the $450 million estimated in 2016.
