The 6th Street Active Transportation Bridge project in Courtenay is moving into its next phase.
Crews set up a 160-tonne crane at the bottom of 6th Street downtown overnight on Jan. 15.
A second crane will be installed at Simms Park to lift major sections of the bridge into place.
The City of Courtenay said crews will install the bridge towers on both sides of the river over the next few weeks.
The first crane was set up in the evening and overnight to limit impacts on nearby businesses.
The project is expected to be completed this summer.
