B.C.’s Highway 29 to
see improvements
this summer
Driving on Highway 29 is about to get bet-ter,
with approximately 47 kilometres of re-surfacing
work scheduled to improve safety
and efficiency.
“Resurfacing this stretch of Highway
29 will provide a much safer, smooth-er
ride,” said Claire Trevena, Minister of
Transportation and Infrastructure. “We are
pleased to get going on this project, which
will enable businesses to move their prod-ucts
more efficiently and make travelling
easier for people in the region.”
The resurfacing work will start at
Bullmoose Flats Bridge, 25 kilometres
north of Tumbler Ridge on Highway 29, and
end at the Sukunka Forest Service Road.
Hot-in-place recycled asphalt will be used,
which is more environmentally friendly as
it reduces greenhouse gases and conserves
non-renewable paving materials.
Peter’s Brothers Construction Ltd., from
Penticton, B.C., was awarded the $4.8-mil-lion
contract. Work is scheduled to take
place this summer. Single-lane alternating
traffic will be in place during construction.
Motorists are advised to follow the instruc-tions
of traffic signs and traffic-control per-sonnel
on-site.
The ministry is committed to rehabili-tating
highways and bridges throughout
British Columbia, and to building new in-frastructure
where it is needed. The B.C.
government will continue to invest in
transportation infrastructure for the safe,
reliable and efficient movement of people
and goods.
