Tank Hill

The Tank Hill project is located 14 km east of Lytton.

Status: Construction

Overview of the project

• Reinstate a grade separation between the TransCanada Highway and CPKC Rail
• Highway construction to accommodate grade separation.
• Structure crossing of existing creek, including channel improvements
• Improved drainage from CPKC rail under TransCanada Highway

Status

• In construction, on schedule for completion November 2025
• Overnight closures in mid-August allowed crews to place concrete deck panels on the new overpass structure
• Construction is underway on the barriers on each side of the overpass
• The retaining wall structures on both the west and east sides of the overpass are complete, and gravel is being placed on the sections leading onto the overpass

Traffic impacts

• There will be intermittent closures and single lane alternating traffic as required to allow for construction
• Drivers may experience delays of up to 40 minutes at the site due to train traffic and construction activities
• Feedback from community members and drivers in the corridor is incorporated into traffic management to improve communication and predictability of delays
• Collaboration continues with CPKC Rail and the Gladwin Culvert project to minimize delays for drivers

Project benefits

• Improved safety and reliability
• Improve climate resiliency
• Opportunity for local communities and businesses
• Once complete, rail and highway traffic will be separated by an elevated crossing to eliminate future delays
