More overnight maintenance scheduled for Taylor Bridge

TAYLOR, B.C. — Drivers using the Taylor Bridge can expect delays due to scheduled overnight maintenance. 

In a Facebook post, Dawson Road Maintenance announced it will be carrying out maintenance work on the Taylor Bridge from April 10th at 7 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. on April 11th.

During the maintenance, vehicles on the bridge will be guided into single-lane alternating traffic by a pilot car. 

The post warned drivers to expect delays. 

Overweight and oversized loads that exceed 3.85 m in width will not be able to cross during this window and will need to wait until after 3.30 a.m. to pass. 

Dawson Road Maintenance is asking carriers and stakeholders to plan movements around this timeframe to avoid extended delays. 

This comes after the ICBA called on the provincial government to replace the Taylor Bridge rather than repeatedly repair it.
