The most difficult section of the upgrade had been left for this last phase, where more than 80% of the roadway is being supported on structure rather than earth embankment. We’ve worked alongside the province’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to ensure that the new roadway will provide a safe and efficient route for everyone.
Reduced Impacts from Falling Debris
The introduction of new bridges and viaducts, along with retaining walls and catchment ditches, significantly reduce the risk of rock fall and avalanche to road users.
Considerations for Wildlife
The installation of fencing and under-highway crossing areas make it safer for wildlife to roam through the Canyon.
Wide Shoulders for Cyclists
The widening of the shoulders to provincial standards means cyclists can also safely enjoy a ride through Kicking Horse Canyon along the Trans-Canada Highway.
