Pingel Creek Road upgrades to begin mid-June

TAYLOR, B.C. — Enbridge and the Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MOTT) are conducting road improvements at the intersection of Alaska Highway and Pingel Creek Road starting mid-June.  

According to a public notice from Enbridge shared in a June 9th Facebook post by the District of Taylor, the road work will “improve road safety, sight lines and long-term reliability for all road users.” 

In June 2025, Enbridge discussed road improvements for the Pingel Creek Road and Alaska Highway intersection with local residents as it began construction of the Aspen Point Program, an expansion of Enbridge company Westcoast Energy’s northeast B.C. natural gas pipeline. 

A local resident told Energeticcity.ca the improvements included plans for a turning lane to reduce the danger posed by larger trucks entering and exiting the highway.

Enbridge also said it had graded and addressed soft spots on Pingel Creek Road, and it was working with MOTT to improve the intersection.

The intersection improvements will support access to Enbridge’s Compressor Station 1B, scheduled for completion in late 2026. 

Enbridge said construction is expected to continue for approximately two months.

The public is advised of temporary traffic disruptions and construction-related impacts, including increased dust and noise.
