The RW Bruhn Bridge, the scene of a tragic semi-truck accident last summer that claimed one life and renewed concerns about its structural integrity, will now see significant traffic disruptions as construction ramps up on a long-anticipated replacement project.
As part of a Trans-Canada Highway improvement project, preparations are underway to replace the RW Bruhn Bridge with a modern four-lane structure.
The RW Bruhn Bridge replacement is part of a $260.5 million upgrade aimed at improving safety and traffic flow along the Trans-Canada Highway corridor.
The project includes four-laning a 1.9-kilometre stretch of Highway 1, enhancing local intersections, and providing safer routes for pedestrians and cyclists.
Construction is expected to continue through 2027.
Work is subject to change based on weather conditions. Check DriveBC for up-to-date information on closures and delays.
