The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will be undertaking fieldwork that will provide additional technical information to help evaluate the options for improving safety and replacing the existing two-lane RW Bruhn Bridge on Highway 1 in Sicamous.

Starting later this month, residents and travellers may see activity along the highway right-of-way, in the Sicamous Narrows, and east and west of the RW Bruhn Bridge approaches.

There will be archaeological investigations within the proposed project limits and in key areas identified for geotechnical investigation. Geotechnical drilling east and west of the RW Bruhn Bridge approaches and underwater within the Sicamous Narrows will be carried out to better understand subsurface conditions.‎ These activities are not expected to impact traffic on Highway 1.

The RW Bruhn Bridge Replacement Project is part of the ministry’s four-laning program for Highway 1 between Kamloops and the Alberta border. For more information, please visit: www.gov.bc.ca/bchwy1-projects
