Nass Valley. They replace older ones. PHOTO COURTESY RANDY PENNER.

Old bridges replaced
in the Nass Valley

WORK HAS begun on a contract awar-
ded last fall to construct two replacement
bridges on the Nisga’a Highway between
Greenville and New Aiyansh.

The $1 million contract to Formula
Contractors is part of a seven-year, $41
million plan to improve access into and
in.the Nass Valley north of Terrace.

Highways ministry official David Bel-
ford last week said the bridge foundation
work now going on is taking place at a
low water time of the year so as to mini-
mize impacts on fish habitat.

-“That’s an important consideration for
this type of work,” said Belford.

Last year, workers created more than
1,300 square metres of spawning channels
and juvenile rearing habitat for coho as
part of the project.

- Workers are now pounding in pipe pile
foundations for the cast-in-place concrete

TERRACE RCMP and fire
departments are investiga-
ting two suspicious car
fires in the 4700 block of
Loen in Terrace’s horse-
shoe the end of February.

At about 1:30 a.m. Sun-
day, Feb. 27 the Terrace
RCMP reported a car fire
to the Terrace fire depart-
ment.

When fire crews got to
the scene they found a
Chevy Nova engulfed in
_ flames. Deputy fire chief
Rick Owens said the fire
was under control within
minutes, but the car is a
write off,

“It’s burnt to a shell,”
he said,

Just when the crews
were tearing down the fire
lines, crews noticed a sec-
ond fire in the passenger
seat of a 1992 Ford Ex-
plorer across the street.

The fire melted the
middle console and part of
the front dash, ruined one
of two front bucket seats
and singed the ceiling of
the cab before the fire was
extinguished. -

Owens said inspectors
believe the second fire
may have started when
someone threw a piece of
burning paper through the
Explorer’s open window.

But, he said, no one
was ‘spotted leaving the
area,

The Chevy Nova fire is
a mystery, said Owens,
because of the. extent of
the damage, All four doors
were locked when the
blaze started.

“It’s pretty hard to tell
what went wrong,” said
Owens.

No one was injured in
the fires and damage is
expected to top $30,000.

If you have information
on the fires call Crime
Stoppers at 635-8477
(TIPS). |

abutments. They will support the bridge
material.

The bridges cross Ansedagen Creek
and Kwinyarh Creek. Each bridge is 11
metres wide with one having a span of 26
metres and the other 32 metres. They re-
place aging log stringer bridges.

The bridge work is part of a larger pro-
ject along the stretch of road to raise it
above the level of ihe Nass River.

Spring flooding along the road has
caused problems and, at times, has made
the road unusable.

Workers on the project come under the
jurisdiction of Highway Constructors Ltd.,
a provincial government subsidiary,
which requires them to be paid union-
level wages. If they are not already union
members, they must become part of a
construction union for the duration of the
project.
