The Ministry of Transportation said damage to the structure was superficial and no repairs were needed.
Last March, the B.C. government said commercial truck drivers could face high penalties and fines for hitting overpasses.
Proposed changes to the Commercial Transport Act (CTA) will enable the courts to impose fines for as much as $100,000, and imprisonment up to 18 months.
