Reclamation and surface treatment project
Several bituminous surface treatment (BST) sections of the Alaska Highway were deteriorating due to age and heavy commercial traffic.
In June 2023, we awarded a contract worth about $8.3 million (taxes included) to White Bear Industries to:
- conduct full-depth reclamation
- repair the BST sections of the highway between kilometre (km) 571 and km 957
This project was delivered in 2 phases, which were completed in fall 2024.
Sikanni Chief River Bridge fire repairs
The Sikanni Chief River Bridge suffered structural damage from a fire in summer 2022.
In July 2023, we awarded a contract worth about $4.2 million (taxes included) to Online Constructors Limited. The contract was to repair and replace fire-damaged parts, such as:
- the concrete of the girders, soffit, piers and abutments
- the bridge deck, joints and barriers
- the pier shafts and hammer heads
- the bearing
- the deck drain
As part of this project, 5% of the construction contract value was awarded to Indigenous suppliers, aligning with mandatory requirements for federal departments and agencies.
Construction began in July 2023 and was completed in spring 2024.

Pink Mountain intersection improvements
The entry points near the Pink Mountain intersection from km 225 to 227 on the Alaska Highway were in need of improvements.
In October 2023, we awarded a contract worth about $3.9 million (including taxes) to A.C.L. Construction Limited, which included:
- adding acceleration and deceleration lanes to access the highway, as well as creating left-turn bays to reduce the risk of rear-end collisions
- closing secondary access points to the intersection to reduce blind spots and increase merging safety
- widening superelevation to reduce sliding hazards
- relocating signage and improving drainage
As part of this project, 12.5% of the construction contract value was awarded to Indigenous suppliers, aligning with mandatory requirements for federal departments and agencies.
Construction work began in June 2024 and was completed in May 2025.
