- The design and construction of the replacement of Park Bridge and approaches, and
- The operation, maintenance and rehabilitation of the entire 26-kilometre section of the Trans-Canada Highway between Golden and Yoho National Park.
More information regarding the DBFO procurement of Phase
2 can be found on the PartnershipsBC
web site.
Phase 3 - BRAKE CHECK TO YOHO NATIONAL PARK
Delivery of these improvements is being carried out under a traditionally tendered contract.
Phase 3 - GOLDEN HILL TO PORTAL
