  • Temporary crossing at Tank Hill will be monitored for smoothness and paving will be addressed as needed
  • Nicomen Bridge works have been mostly completed potential for a new bridge project to replace in future.
  • Our development services group have been looking at proposed works on Hwy 12 / Main Street Lytton and will continue to work with reinstatement team on the Lytton rebuild.
