Replacement work on a 100 year-old bridge near Telkwa is finally set to begin, after being closed to vehicle traffic this summer.
Safety concerns stemming from on-going deterioration issues prompted the province to close the Quick Bridge to vehicles in June.
With the existing bridge beyond its serviceable life by more than two decades, a complete replacement of the structure was settled on.
Now, Luxton Construction has been awarded the $4.3 million contract to complete the work, which will see the existing Howe truss structure replaced with a steel Algonquin Bridge superstructure.
Work is expected to begin this Fall, and wrap up sometime next winter.
