Drivers worried about gridlock and earthquakes on West Vancouver’s 15th Street overpass just got their concerns cut by 50 per cent.
Work recently wrapped up on a $1.15-million upgrade of the highway exit, designed to make the 15th Street overpass sturdier in the event tectonic plates start shifting.
The flyover is now “up to our strict safety standards if an earthquake were to occur,” stated Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone in a press release. “This makes the drive safer for all motorists.”
Besides the seismic upgrade, the deck was resurfaced to make the drive “smoother and safer,” stated West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan.
Work ramped up on the overpass in April and finished at the end of September.
