Two bridges crossing the Kicking Horse River will receive upgrades thanks to a joint investment by the provincial and federal governments.
A combined $89.6-million is being invested in the project to reduce the risk of damage to essential infrastructure near Golden caused by climate-related events.
“Our government remains committed to building a more resilient Canada. Infrastructure Canada’s Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund supports proactive improvements to essential public infrastructure that will do exactly that,” John Aldag, Member of Parliament for Cloverdale-Langley City, said on behalf of the Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities.
“The funding announced [Friday, Nov. 17] will reduce the risk of damage caused by climate-related events to two bridges that are integral to the residents of Golden and Highway 95 users. We will continue to invest in disaster and mitigation projects that safeguard Canadians and the infrastructure that keeps our communities running.”
