Maintenance work on Taylor Bridge causes road delays

TAYLOR, B.C. — Washing maintenance is causing traffic delays on Taylor Bridge today (May 2nd).

According to DriveBC, work will be conducted until May 16th on the bridge in a one-kilometre area between Big Bam Road and McMahon Drive.

During that time, crews will work from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays with a mid-day break between noon and 1 p.m.

The bridge is down to single-lane alternating traffic, with a pilot car on-site to guide vehicles. 

Motorists can expect a minimum 20-minute delay for the duration of the work, DriveBC said. 

Vehicles with a width exceeding 3.85 metres are asked to wait until 3 p.m. to go across the bridge.

Dawson Road Maintenance initially reported the work was scheduled to start on Monday, May 5th. 

When Energeticcity.ca asked why it began earlier than anticipated, the service did not provide an answer. 

This will be the fifth time this year maintenance will be performed on the bridge.
