B.C. Highway Flood Recovery Projects - Highway 1 Fraser - Thompson

Highway 1 Reinstatement Program, Fraser – Thompson Corridor is underway and may create travel delays throughout the corridor. 

Highway 1 through the Fraser-Thompson Corridor closed between Spences Bridge to Hope on November 14, 2021, due to damage caused by heavy rains.

More than 150 workers using 80 pieces of equipment moved more than 150,000 cubic metres of gravel, rock and other material to repair and reopen Highway 1 to vehicle traffic on January 14, 2022, (Lytton to Spences Bridge), and January 24, 2022 (Lytton to Boston Bar).

There were 18 sites affected on Highway 1 between Hope and Spences Bridge, including four that required extensive temporary repairs to reopen.

These projects will provide permanent repairs to the highway infrastructure at 6 locations. Three of the protects will be delivered using a collaborative construction model where the contractor and  Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure work together to complete the design and construction of the project. The remaining three will be delivered using traditional contract methods.
