GOLDEN, B.C. – The Kicking Horse Canyon Phase 4 construction project is nearing completion but the final construction effort in the fall will require an extended closure of Highway 1 for two periods totalling 17 days.
The closure periods are Monday, Sept 18, at noon until Friday, Sept. 22 at noon (Mountain Time) and Monday, Sept. 25 at noon until Friday, Oct. 6 at noon (Mountain Time).
“These closures are needed to complete construction activities that cannot be performed in the presence of traffic or during shorter interruptions. The focus during these closures will be on preparing the new westbound lanes, currently under construction, for traffic this fall,” a B.C. government release stated.
The focus during the closures will be on preparing the new westbound lanes which are currently under construction. The construction zone will be opened briefly to limited local and commuter traffic with prearranged permits twice daily, escorted by a pilot vehicle during half-hour periods beginning at 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (Mountain Time), the release stated.
When completed in the winter, the 4.8 kilometre section of narrow, winding two-lane roadway will be converted to a four-lane standard highway, the release added.
