HAISLA BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT PROCUREMENT UPDATE

The District of Kitimat is replacing the Haisla Bridge to provide safe and reliable access across the Kitimat River for years to come. The Haisla Bridge serves as a critical corridor between the community, industry, and natural environments. The new bridge will provide important improvements for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

It further serves as a critical connection between the Canadian and global economies. With growing economic activity in the Kitimat area, there are expectations for increased daily traffic volumes, oversized load deliveries, and construction traffic.

The District intends to conduct tree clearing in the project site this winter, while construction is expected to begin in summer 2021, and it is anticipated that the new bridge will be operational in 2023. Demolition of the existing bridge will occur after the new bridge is open.
