The bridge on Carter Road has reached the end of its serviceable life and is due for replacement. Carter Road will have to be closed during bridge replacement throughout the summer of 2024.
When is this happening?
Construction is scheduled to start June 24 and is estimated to finish by September 4, 2024.
Work will happen Monday to Friday between 7:00 am and 8:00 pm (in accordance with the Noise Control Bylaw).
What to expect
The road will be closed to vehicle traffic on both sides of the bridge between 661 and 650 Carter Rd. Pedestrian access will remain open. Construction vehicles, workers and noise will be present on Carter Road.
Where is the alternate access route?
There is an alternate access route for the properties west of the bridge starting from the gravel section of Carter Rd at Mount Gardner Rd. Temporary traffic lights will be operating during construction for the alternate access at the top and bottom of Carter Rd at Mount Gardner, as well as detour signage posted at both Carter Rd at Mount Gardner and Carter Rd at Grafton.
Bowen Island’s Emergency first responders have been notified and emergency vehicles such as police, fire and ambulance will be able to access the alternate route.
Construction vehicles will enter from Carter Rd at Grafton Rd because the alternate access is not suitable for large vehicles.
