Work on new Kaslo Bridge beginning mid-May

Kaslo’s 55-year-old timber bridge is nearing the end of its service life and is ready to be replaced.

BD Hall Constructors Corp. was awarded $6.19 million for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure contract. It is expected to be finished by November 2021.
