Twinning of Simon Fraser Bridge
$18 million
A project to reduce traffic congestion and make delivering goods between the Port of Prince Rupert container facility and the Prince George Inland Container Terminal more efficient.
This project was completed in August 2009.
The twinned Simon Fraser Bridge doubles the number of lanes from two to four. The bridge also includes a joint pedestrian and bicycle lane linking to trails in the Prince George area.
The bridge expansion, as part of the Cariboo Connector strategy, is a key element in the continued development of Prince George as a major transportation hub supporting the growth in mining, oil and gas, forest industry activity and encourages economic diversification in the north.
All financial figures are anticipated federal contributions for projects, most of which are cost-shared with important contributions from partners, including British Columbia and other western provincial and municipal governments, ports and railways.
All projects are subject to funding commitments of all partners, completion of due diligence, contribution agreements and final federal project approval.
