Travellers along the Highway 16 corridor on either side of Terrace will be transiting through a pair of construction sites this summer.

The BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has announced two contracts for work on the Kasiks River Bridge and that which crosses Legate Creek, the total cost of the projects to ce at 4.7 million dollars.

are on the work order list for this summer in the Northwest

For the Kasiks Bridge which is 60 kilometres west of Terrace the work will include esurfacing the bridge deck, installing new pier deck joints, abutment deck slab extensions, as well as drainage improvements. 

The Legate Creek Bridge which is 36 kilometres to the east of Terrace will see its deck resurfaced, as well as installing new abutment deck joints, new bearings and shear blocks.

Drivers can anticipate delays through the summer as the work is not expected to be completed until the fall. No official start date was provided as part of today's information update.

That work makes for the third significant infrastructure project for Terrace, with work on the Old Skeena Bridge on the list for this summer as well.
