⚠️👷 REMINDER: BRIDGE WORK ONGOING 👷⚠️

Argo Road Maintenance is completing bridge joint replacement work on Highway 1 at Sagebrush Bridge, located between Columbia St Exit (Exit 369 Eastbound) and Summit Dr Exit (Exit 370 Westbound), from May 9 to June 15, 2026.

This work is essential to maintaining the integrity and long-term performance of Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MOTT) infrastructure.

TRAFFIC IMPACTS:
🚫 The eastbound bridge will be fully closed. Eastbound traffic will be reduced to single-lane and detoured into the westbound lanes around the bridge, before returning to the eastbound lanes.
🚧 Westbound traffic will be reduced to single-lane during daytime hours (3:30 AM – 10:00 PM).
🛣️ From 10:00 PM to 3:30 AM, westbound traffic will be detoured through the City of Kamloops road network via Summit Dr Exit (Exit 370 Westbound) and back onto Highway 1 at the Columbia St on-ramp (Exit 369).

🛣️ Daytime (03:30–22:00): Term-permit-sized loads only (maximum 3.8 m width, 31 m length)
🛣️ Nighttime Westbound (22:00–03:30): Detour via City of Kamloops route allows loads up to approximately 5.5 m width
🛣️ Nighttime Eastbound (22:00–03:30): No restrictions (eastbound traffic utilizing westbound lanes)

ADDITIONAL WESTBOUND RESTRICTIONS THROUGH CITY NETWORK (MAY 9 - JUNE 5):
🚚 Maximum width: 5.5 m
🚚 Maximum height: 5.5 m
🚚 Maximum length: 35 m
🚚 Weight restriction: N/A

AFTER JOINT REPLACEMENT:
🚧 Once bridge joints have been replaced and concrete has been poured, temporary ramps will be installed over the joints during the curing process.
🚧 At that stage, eastbound traffic will remain in the eastbound lanes, with traffic control still in place.

Motorists should expect delays. Please check DriveBC for current conditions and follow all posted signage through the construction zone.

How to safely share the road with slow-moving road maintenance vehicles:

1. Adjust speed. Slow to 70km/h or less (if the posted speed is 80km/h or more).

2. Move over. Give crews plenty of room to work.

🤔 🛣️ Did You Know?

In British Columbia, drivers are required by law to slow down and move over when passing a vehicle stopped on the roadside with 🚔 🚒 🚑 flashing lights.
This includes highway 👷👷‍♂️ 🚧 maintenance vehicles using amber beacons.

When approaching these vehicles:
➡️ Slow to 70 km/h in areas with speed limits of 80 km/h or higher
➡️ Slow to 40 km/h in areas with lower speed limits
➡️ Move into the lane furthest from the vehicle when it is safe to do so

These rules are in place to help protect roadside 👷👷‍♂️workers, including Argo crews and others working near live traffic, who are out there every day helping keep roads safe for the travelling public.

At the end of the day, we all have 💛 families, and everyone deserves to make it home safely.

❗ Failing to slow down and move over can result in a fine and penalty points.
