The bridge is the only link between the community of Sicamous and its industrial park.

It’s also the only access to a residential and commercial development now being built.

“I am grateful for this funding which will facilitate the bridge’s replacement – key in the future growth and health of Sicamous,” said mayor Terry Rysz in a news release.
