Al4- The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, October 17, 2001

Bridge work nearly finished

NEW LIGHT standards are
being installed and clean-
ing up is taking place this
week as the redecking of
the old Skcena bridge fi-
nishes up.

Gone are the hardwood
African timbers, replaced
by a steel grate surface.

The work, conducted by
Nechako Northcoast Con-
struction, was completed
well within the contract
window, transportation
ministry official Geéoff
Phillips said last week.

The last of the major
redecking work was com-
pleted late last week.

“The project went well
despite the weather,” said
Phillips of the rain the past
months.

“And there's outflow
winds there and that made
it hard to work in.”

The steel grates mark-
edly change the look and
feel of the structure but are
considered a cost saver
because far Jess mainte-
nance is needed.

With the thick timber
“bumpers” gone on either
side of the deck, the driv-
ing surface is now wider.

At the widest leg, it is
now 15 feet compared to
12.5 feet before.

Nechako Northcoast of-
ficial Peter Landsdowne
also said one of the bends
has been cut back, making
it easier for drivers to ne-

gotiate,
The sidewalk portion is
covered by a

fibreglass/concrete compo-
site and its texture is rough
to provide more secure
footing when wet, he said.

One advantage of the
steel grate driving surface
is that snow should fall
straight through, as op-
posed to building up and
becoming a hazard when
the deck was made out of
wood.

Those African hardwood
timbers have been sorted.
The transportation ministry
is getting some of them for
community use while Ne-
chake Northcoast will sell
what's lefi.

“There was 1130 odd
feet of bridge deck,” said
Landsdowne.

WELDER GORD Stokkeland applies some finishing touches on the old Skee-
na bridge last week. He’s safely secured in his work thanks to a harness. Afri-
can hardwood timbers have been replacec by steel grates. The driving surface
is wider as well. SARAH A. ZIMMERMAN PHOTO
