About The Project

In April 2018, high water levels from the spring freshet caused Narcosli Creek to erode five (5) sections of the West Fraser Road, on the west side of the Fraser River, approximately 17 km south of Quesnel, BC. This caused severe damage, with damage spread over a 3km section that included over 550 m of washed out road embankments, in addition to sections of roads and a bridge connection that were collapsed.

Enviro-Ex was awarded the contract to rebuild and realign the washed-out sections of West Fraser Road.
Along with a new two-lane bridge over Narcolsi Creek, 5.6km of paved two-lane road will be constructed on a new alignment on the east side of the creek. When completed, the new West Fraser Road will bypass the active slide areas along the washed-out portions, improving the safety and efficiency of the roadway.
