Hagwilget Bridge construction continues

The Hagwilget Bridge now has lights for pedestrians and cyclists to increase safety

The Hagwilget Bridge is now lit up.

Last week it was closed for a couple of days with limited openings so construction crews could install lights on the towers for pedestrians and cyclists. The work started on March 25 and wrapped up on March 27.

The bridge is a 140 metre long steel and cable, single-lane structure linking communities in the Hazeltons.

Carl Lutz with the Ministry of Transportation said the new lighting will improve safety for those walking and biking across.

The Hagwilget Bridge was originally constructed in 1931 and reinforced in 1990.
