Daytime full closures to end next week on R.W. Bruhn Bridge

The District of Sicamous is updating drivers on the R.W. Bruhn Bridge closures, saying daytime full closures are coming to an end.

In a statement, the district said there are no closures scheduled from June 15 to Sept. 15, 2026. However, drivers should still expect single-lane alternating traffic during late evening and overnight hours.

Pedestrian access to Sicamous Beach Park via the walkway under the bridge remains open.

Officials said minor interruptions may occur during working hours while deck panel placement is completed. The work is expected to be finished by mid-June.

The district added that there are no scheduled closures of the Sicamous Narrows until late fall. Short-term holds of up to 10 minutes may occur during working hours if necessary.

“While the short-term impacts can be painful, this work will support long-term improvements to transportation infrastructure in our community,” the district said.

The district thanked the Sicamous community for its patience during construction.
