The extreme rainfall events of November 14 and 15, 2021 have had major impacts on highways and highway structures throughout the Southern Interior and Lower Mainland, and highway infrastructure on Vancouver Island.
The events caused closures on Highway 1, Highway 3, Highway 5 (Merritt to Hope), Highway 8 (Merritt to Spences Bridge), Highway 12, and Highway 99 (30 km west of Lillooet).
This Program covers highway reinstatement work in the following highway corridors:
- Highway 1 between Highway 11 and Spences Bridge
- Highway 5 between Hope and Merritt
- Highway 8 between Spences Bridge and Merritt
Two RFQ’s were issued to identify Engineering and Design Firms and Construction Firms to be qualified and become Candidates for future highway reinstatement projects. The RFQ for Construction Firms further delineated qualified Candidates for projects between $20-50 million, and greater than $50 million.
Multiple projects are anticipated to be expedited through this qualification program.
