Daytime closures will resume this week on Hwy 1 between Sicamous, Salmon Arm

Construction-related closures are set to resume this week at the R.W. Bruhn Bridge between Sicamous and Salmon Arm.

Construction work was paused over the holidays but day-time closures will start up again on Tuesday.

According to the three-week schedule, there will be full closures of the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy 1) from 9 am to 3 pm.

There will also be single-lane alternating traffic from 8 pm to 6 am.

The highway will be fully opened from 6-9 am and from 3-8 pm.

With the exception of Jan. 12, there will not be any closures or single-lane alternating traffic on Sundays.

Work, which started in fall 2024, will see 1.9 kilometres of Highway 1 widened to have four lanes.

The bridge will be replaced with a new four-lane structure and intersections between Old Sicamous Road and Silver Sands Road.

A detour is available by taking Highway 97A down towards Enderby and taking the exit onto Highway 97B towards Salmon Arm.
