Highways contract open

TERRACE — The Ministry of Transportation and Highways has opened the next three-year road and bridge maintenance contract for.the Skeena district highways to offers.

The. current contract, according to a ministry press release of June 14, is worth $11,700,000. It calls for maintenance of 1,162 lanc-kilometres of road and 92 bridges. It covers all the provin- cial highways and bridges from Nass Camp to Kitamaat Village and 48 kilometres east of Terrace to 90 kilometres west of it.

The expiring contract, in place for three years, is held by North ‘Coast Road Maintenance, a division of Kitimat-based Kentron Construction. Since the contract was initially awarded in 1988, the government has added the Nisga’a Highway from Rosswood to New Aiyansh to the contract area and the access road to the Shames Mountain ski resort.

The ministry expects the awarding process for the new three- year contract to take about three months.
