The Haisla Bridge provides a critical link between Kitimat, BC, and its industrial lands, including LNG Canada and Rio Tinto. Originally built in 1954, the bridge is operating near the end of its design life. The District of Kitimat wished to replace the bridge to provide a safe and reliable structure over the highly sensitive Kitimat River.
The project involves the design and construction of a 235 metre-long bridge consisting of four spans; two spans over the Kitimat River and two short end spans over new multi-use pathways, 1000 metres of realigned road approaches, drainage, erosion and scour protection, water and sanitary force main connections, roadway lighting, and private utilities. Specialist subconsultants provided geotechnical and hydrotechnical services.
Multi-disciplinary coordination through weekly discipline-lead meetings proved immensely valuable in identifying and mitigating conflicts during the abbreviated and fast-paced design phase.
