Halston Bridge construction set to begin next week
KAMLOOPS — A second access route to the Kamloops North Shore will see construction activity in the coming days.
In a news release, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure says work to rehabilitate Halston Bridge will begin Monday (July 17). During construction, two of the bridge’s four lanes will be closed at all times, reducing the crossing to one lane in each direction. All four lanes will be open during the winter months as work will be paused due to cold weather.
The project includes resurfacing the bridge deck and replacing the deck joints. Motorists should expect congestion and delays and plan accordingly. Essential service providers, such as Kamloops Fire Rescue, BC Ambulance, RCMP and BC Transit, will receive priority access through the construction area.
Drivers are reminded to drive according to road conditions, observe construction-zone speed limits and follow the direction of traffic-control signs and personnel.
