Moto Transportation outlines how infrastructure improvements will impact freight routes and delivery times." image: https://www.shipmoto.com/hubfs/coq9b.jpg --- ![Transit Time Schedule](https://www.shipmoto.com/hubfs/coq9b.jpg) # Coquihalla Highway Permanent Repairs to Proceed April 08, 2022 The British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure says it is moving ahead with permanent repairs to the Coquihalla Hwy that was damaged by catastrophic flooding last November. A statement from the ministry says it has begun the process to select contractors to design and complete the repairs at three of the seven damaged bridges along the Coquihalla Highway. The ministry says the work will return the highway to four lanes along a section between its summit and 50 kilometers south of Merritt. It’s expected contracts for the bridges will be awarded by late April or early May, with construction slated for the summer and completion by the end of this year. The ministry says permanent repairs are also a priority along the damaged Othello section of the highway just east of Hope and a tender package is being prepared for contractors. Work on permanent repairs to the other flood-damaged highways, including Highway 1 through the Fraser Canyon and Highway 8 in the Nicola Valley, is planned and the ministry says it expects to share more details in the coming weeks. Transportation Minister Rob Fleming says the repairs will leave the highway in better condition than it was before a storm known as an atmospheric river dumped record-breaking amounts of rain on much of southern B.C. last year, causing floods, slides, and washouts. Efforts will be made to minimize traffic disruptions during peak travel times and to complete the work overnight where possible, but the ministry says delays, including periods of single-lane alternating traffic and short, intermittent full closures, are expected throughout construction. Trucking companies have seen few delays with the current single-lane traffic changes. ![coquihalla repairs bc canada](https://www.shipmoto.com/hs-fs/hubfs/coq9b.jpg?width=900&name=coq9b.jpg) [News](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/news) Share this post: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/permanent-repairs-to-coquihalla-to-move-ahead) [Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/permanent-repairs-to-coquihalla-to-move-ahead) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/permanent-repairs-to-coquihalla-to-move-ahead) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/permanent-repairs-to-coquihalla-to-move-ahead) ## Read More Oct 1 · [News](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/news) ### [CBSA System Outage: Cross-Border Delays and What Shippers Need to Know](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/cbsa-system-outage-cross-border-delays-and-what-shippers-need-to-know-oct-1-2025) Sep 26 · [News](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/news) ### [Canada–US Tariff Update: What Freight Shippers Need to Know (Sept 2025)](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/canada-us-tariff-update-what-freight-shippers-need-to-know-sept-2025) Aug 25 · [News](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/news) ### [LTL Market in August 2025: Warming Up or Still Chilling?](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/ltl-market-in-august-2025-warming-up-or-still-chilling) Apr 9 · [Shipping & Freight Tips](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/shipping-freight-tips) ### [USA–Canada Trade Freight Updates | Moto Transportation News](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/usacanadatrf-0) Mar 5 · [Shipping & Freight Tips](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/shipping-freight-tips) ### [USA–Canada Trade Route Freight Insights | Moto Transportation](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/usacanadatrf) Dec 3 · [Shipping & Freight Tips](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/shipping-freight-tips) ### [The Impact of U.S. Port Strikes on Cross-Border Shipping](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/navxb) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Michael Melwicks", "url" : "https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/author/michael-melwicks" }, "dateModified" : "2025-08-25T03:42:06.798Z", "datePublished" : "2022-04-08T17:36:49.000Z", "headline" : "Coquihalla Highway Permanent Repairs to Proceed", "image" : [ "https://www.shipmoto.com/hubfs/coq9b.jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/permanent-repairs-to-coquihalla-to-move-ahead", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.shipmoto.com/hubfs/Moto2020CorrectFontforWhite.png" }, "name" : "Moto Transportation" } } ``` ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "articleBody" : "The British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure says it is moving ahead with permanent repairs to the Coquihalla Hwy that was damaged by catastrophic flooding last November.
