SPENCES BRIDGE, B.C. – The Province of British Columbia has selected four qualified teams to participate in the request for proposals (RFP) stage to design and construct permanent repairs to a section of Highway 8 approximately 15 kilometres east of Spences Bridge, B.C.
The four teams selected to participate are:
- AEGP (Aecon-Emil Anderson Construction General Partnership)
- Atkins Réalis
- EllisDon Corporation
- Flatiron Constructors Canada
Work on the project will include replacing two temporary structures with permanent bridges and construction of approximately three kilometres of connecting highway between bridges.
Design work is expected to begin in the fall after a team is selected.
Permanent repairs to the highway will improve safe access for residents and will be built with a climate-resilient design to withstand future weather-related events. During the coming months, additional permanent repairs will be made in the corridor, which was damaged by floods in 2021, a release said.
Highway 8 requires paving. Talk is cheap. I expect the incompetence to continue and the work to drag on and on and on…. A task of this size would of been completed a year ago in any other developed country. My grandfather would be ashamed of the present day state of affairs and so should we as Canadians.
