The District of Sicamous has updated their R.W. Bruhn Bridge construction progress that could affect traffic during the long weekend.
There will be no single-lane-alternating traffic from 6 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 1 through to Monday, Aug. 4 on Highway 1 between Old Sicamous Rd and Solsqua-Sicamous Rd.
Single lane alternating traffic should resume at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 5 according to DriveBC.
Pedestrian access to the Beach Park via the walkway under the bridge will be open from noon on Friday to Tuesday morning at 7 a.m.
Sicamous Ferry Society is providing daytime access to the Beach Park (when walkway is closed), and the Shuswap North Okanagan Rail Trail.
According to DriveBC, Highway 1 between Old Sicamous Rd and Solsqua-Sicamous Rd for 2 km will remain closed for construction from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 am on weekdays and Saturdays. The next update will be in six days.
This is a four-laning project for Highway 1 which included an approximate 1.9 km replacement if the existing R.W. Bruhn Bridge with a new four-lane bridge and intersection improvements.
DriveBC reminds motorists that despite closures not in effect, there is an active construction zone, saying, “Please slow down and stay alert.”
