End in sight for John Hart Bridge force main project

The City of Prince George announced the wastewater infrastructure project along the John Hart Bridge is nearly complete.

This is to connect the new, 1,300 metre force main to the existing one at 5th Avenue.

It said southbound traffic will be reduced to a single lane from the bridge to 5th Avenue, and the right turn lane from Highway 97 onto 5th Avenue will be closed starting Monday.

The inside southbound lane and the two left turn lanes will remain open, and northbound lanes will unaffected.

The project, which began last fall to replace the aging infrastructure, was originally planned to end in February of this year, however, unexpected delays pushed completion.

Work is expected to take eight days with lanes reopening the morning of August 19th.

More detailed information about the project can be found here.
