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 December 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 March, work is taking place to install the pier columns and caps that will hold the future bridge and to install the steel girders that will span over the railway.

Traffic impacts

• There will be road closures on March 21, 24, 25 and 26 to allow for girder installation over the railway and moving cranes.
• A two-lane detour and intermittent single lane alternating traffic is in effect. Please obey all signage
• Occasional 20 to 30 minutes closures for construction work and train crossings
• Feedback from community members and drivers in the corridor is incorporated into traffic management to improve communication and predictability of delays

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
