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
  • Traffic control setup and site conditions are continually reviewed to improve traffic safety and mobility
  • The project team is proactively coordinating with CPKC rail to reduce delays
  • In May, work underway includes:
    • Installing plate girders, which are steel beams used to support heavy loads
    • Installing concrete deck panels which support the concrete deck
    • Installing the west retaining walls that support the roadway approaching the new bridge

Traffic impacts

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

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
