Another milestone has been reached for Courtenay’s featured infrastructure project.
The 6th Street Active Transportation Bridge had towers installed on each side of the Courtenay River, with each standing just over 16 metres tall.
The east-side tower at Simms Millennium Park and the west-side tower were both installed in January 2026, marking a key phase of construction.
Each tower is assembled over three days before being lifted into place, and the process was delayed by a few days due to flooding in the area.
The City of Courtenay said despite the delays, the project remains on schedule.
The city added the tower installations represent a major step toward project completion.
The 6th Street bridge will be a four-metre-wide, symmetrical, cable-stayed crossing designed for pedestrians and cyclists.
It is intended to improve connectivity between downtown and Simms Millennium Park once complete in late 2026.
