An important next step for a new active transportation project in Courtenay is scheduled to start after the long weekend.
The contractor of the 6th Street Bridge will begin their setup of construction starting Tuesday, September 2, which includes setting up fencing and trailers.
Crews will be assembling primarily in Simms Park and the parking lot, and portions of both spaces will be closed once construction begins.
Construction will not cause any road closures, and all necessary permits are in place for work in and around the river.
A qualified environmental professional will be overseeing construction with the project’s completion estimated fall 2026.
