AECON-Emil Anderson GP awarded contract to replace BC’s R.W. Bruhn Bridge

SHUSWAP REGION, British Columbia — AECON-Emil Anderson GP has been awarded the $136-million contract to replace the R.W. Bruhn Bridge.

The project is expected to improve traffic flow and enhance safety for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists along Highway 1 in the Shuswap.

The project score includes four-laning 1.9 kilometres of Highway 1, replacing the R.W. Bruhn Bridge with a new four-lane structure, and upgrading intersections between Old Sicamous Road and Silver Sands Road.

Once complete, the intersection at Old Spallumcheen Road will be closed on Highway 1 and replaced with safer access that eliminates left turns. The project also includes a new multi-use path to increase safety for pedestrians and cyclists travelling across the Sicamous Narrows and into Sicamous.
