Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge to undergo $33-million upgrade
Graham Infrastructure LP will widen repair work to steel, concrete and drainage, with the province saying the bridge could last 50 more years.
Construction on the Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge rehabilitation begins as early as Monday, Sept. 21, following a $33-million contract awarded to Graham Infrastructure LP.
Built in 1956, the bridge carries about 15,000 vehicles daily across the Fraser River connecting the Fraser Valley communities; this work extends its lifespan by 50 years.
Most work will occur underneath the bridge, addressing structural steel and concrete deterioration, replacing deck extension joints and improving drainage.
Drivers may encounter single-lane alternating traffic between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., with full closures of 15 minutes occurring between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m.
Emergency service vehicles will be accommodated during closures, while DriveBC will post updates on their website and drivers may detour via the Mission Bridge.
