The contract to design and build the fourth and final phase of the Kicking Horse Canyon Project near Golden has been finalized and formally awarded to Kicking Horse Canyon Constructors (KHCC).

Following a competitive procurement process, a preferred proponent team has been chosen to design and construct Phase 4 of the Kicking Horse Canyon Project near Golden.

This week, people will see crews starting on a project that will improve traffic flow at the busy intersection of Highway 95 at 9th Street South in Golden.

Crews are doing investigative fieldwork in the Kicking Horse Canyon over the next several weeks as part of the preparation for major highway improvements to begin late this year.

The Province has selected three pre-qualified teams to participate in the request for proposals (RFP) stage to design and construct Phase 4 of the Kicking Horse Canyon Project on Highway 1, which will improve safety and reliability east of Golden.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure invites the public to attend information sessions in Radium Hot Springs and Golden to discuss traffic management planning for the final phase of the Kicking Horse Canyon Project.

The Trans-Canada Highway between the Golden Weigh Scale and Forde Station Road has been expanded to four lanes, improving safety and increasing capacity for people travelling along the Highway 1 corridor.

The fourth and final phase of the Highway 1 Kicking Horse Canyon project is moving forward with an invitation for bidders to submit their qualifications to design and build the project.

Solid efficient transportation infrastructure is critical to connecting communities, boosting trade and tourism, and strengthening the economy and middle class.
