Sombrio Bridge Time Lapse

The Sombrio Bridge, on Highway 14 near Port Renfrew, was upgraded from a single-lane timber bridge to a flashy two-lane, 124-metre-long concrete and steel bridge on a new 1.2 kilometre highway alignment. The new alignment was constructed to a 70km-h standard with 3.6-metre-wide lanes and 1.5 metres of paved shoulders. We also paved and realigned the bridge approaches and resurfaced 5.4 kilometres of the highway east from Sombrio ending near Lines Creek. You might notice other improvements we've made in the area: we widened the approaches and added roadside safety barriers to the Baird and Murton bridges, and upgraded the concrete structure for the Sombrio No. 3 Bridge.

Looks great. The slope in front of the pier looks really sketchy though. I would've put in a retaining wall in front of the pier foundation and armored it with rip rap.

[@MinistryofTranBC]

+Christian Platzbecker sorry - just to clarify - would you like us to look into the bridge steel itself and see if there has been oxidation?

I know it says "BC" in the user name, but it would have helped to say what country and area we are in somewhere in the description...

[@MinistryofTranBC]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@frederalbacon]

EASYTIGER10 It literally says "British Columbia" in the first 5 seconds of the video

[@SuperScratch1]

Too fast. A choice to select a 15/20 min video would be good.

Thanks for watching and offering feedback on the timing. KZbin allows you to adjust the speed by clicking the gear icon at bottom right.
