Quick Bridge No. 00345 Superstructure Replacement Project
Last updated on January 11, 2024
COMPLETED - Quick Bridge spans the Bulkley River in Quick, British Columbia approximately 25-kilometers south of Smithers, BC. The bridge connects Quick East Road on the north and Quick Station Road on the south and is located approximately 3-kilometers south of Highway 16.
Last Updated: June 12, 2023
The existing Howe truss structure at the crossing is 100 years old and is beyond its serviceable life. The superstructure will be replaced with a modern, reliable Algonquin Bridge superstructure to maintain a safe crossing at this location.
During the detailed engineering design phase of the project, the team identified complexities of the superstructure replacement. The complexities required additional technical reviews to ensure the crossing is safely and reliably replaced and, in turn, affected the tender and construction timelines.
