Banford Bridge over Semiault Creek at the intersection of Banford Road and McGuire Road is one of 23 roadway bridges in Chilliwack. This particular bridge had been previously identified in inspection reports as needing a full replacement due to its age and poor condition.

The project included the following:

  • Realignment of the existing Fortis gas main to run south along Banford Road from Prairie Central Road.
  • The removal of the existing 7m bridge, with a new 9m wide bridge, complete with concrete-filled steel piles.
    • The bridge will be wider, allowing additional space for pedestrian passage and for vehicles to turn on the bridge.
  • Reconstruction of the banks of Semiault Creek.
  • Restoration and vegetative planting of the watercourse channel cross-section.
  • Road construction works.
  • Replacement of the 600mm diameter storm main across McGuire Road.
  • Re-alignment of a 50mm diameter water main across the underside of the proposed bridge.
