HIGHWAYS REPORT REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER Victoria, B.C., October 8, 1963. Mr. H. T. Miard, Deputy Minister of Highways, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I submit herewith district reports for the fiscal year 1962/63. There are 23,513 miles of highway under the jurisdiction of this Department, comprised of 3,669 miles of trunk highways, 1,574 miles of main highways, and 18,270 miles of other roads. The mileage of classified highways (arterial and secondary) is 743. The total mileage of roads constructed or reconstructed by day labour was 293. Improvements or minor betterments were made to 651 miles. Fifty-two ferries operated under the supervision of the Department. The number of vehicles carried was 2,042,626, and the number of passengers, including drivers, 5,228,803. The total expenditure on maintenance of roads, ferries, and bridges was $17,875,545. Snow-removal costs, included in the above, amounted to $1,812,179. There were 19,567 miles of road kept open during the winter. The number of right-of-way settlements negotiated during the year was 537, at a cost of $1,114,310. During the 1962 calendar year there were 2,796 subdivisions handled by the Department, and of these, 464 were adjacent to controlled-access highways. The number of permits issued for entrances on controlled-access highways was 369, and for entrances on non-controlled-access highways, 673. There were 2,044 permits issued for other works on Crown lands. F. A. MacLean, Assistant Deputy Minister. 11 C 12 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER Victoria, B.C., October 10, 1963. Mr. H. T. Miard, Deputy Minister of Highways, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—Herewith are submitted reports from the Senior Bridge Engineer, Director of Construction, and Design and Planning Engineer for the fiscal year 1962/63. Briefly summarizing the activities of the various branches, the total length of roads constructed or reconstructed by contract was 116 miles, and of this, 18 miles were on the Trans-Canada Highway. The paving programme exceeded that of the previous year, there being laid 232 miles of bituminous plant mix and 269 miles of road mix and pulvimix. The number of bridges and other structures built remained high. At the end of the year, 43 structures were completed and construction was in progress on 33 others. Structures on the Trans-Canada Highway included in the above were 26 completed and 21 in progress. The total length of final highway-location surveys completed amounted to 230 miles. The length of office design complete with estimates was 183 miles, included in which were 3.6 miles of urban street design. D. D. Godfrey, Chief Engineer. C 14 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 REPORT OF THE SENIOR BRIDGE ENGINEER There was no relaxation in the Department's bridge-construction activity during the year, as is evidenced by a total gross expenditure thereon of approximately $19,- 800,000, compared with $19,750,000 during the previous year. The record shows 43 new or reconstructed structures were completed during the period, while a further 33 structures were under construction at the conclusion of the year. Of the new structures completed, 26 are located on the Trans-Canada Highway, as are 21 of those under construction at the end of the year. The completion of the latter will see the construction of the last of a total of 146 structures built on this 550-mile-long highway, except for the strengthening and widening of a few bridges built prior to the inception of the Trans-Canada Highway programme. In retrospect, the records show that some $70,000,000 will have been expended on new or reconstructed structures on this highway under the Trans-Canada Highway Agreement, to which might be added the $22,000,000 cost of the Second Narrows Bridge in Vancouver. This expenditure is a measure of the magnitude of the task involved in building the bridges between Victoria and the British Columbia-Alberta Boundary, in the course of which almost every conceivable kind of challenge was met and overcome by the bridge-builders. Detailed information of the completed structures and of those under construction are appended, but worthy of special mention are six major river-crossing structures which were completed during the year under review. These are: (1) Alexandra Bridge, a monumental arch structure carrying the Trans-Canada Highway across the Fraser River in the Fraser Canyon near Spuzzum; (2) Columbia River Bridge on the Trans-Canada Highway near Donald; (3) Spences Bridge, carrying the Trans- Canada Highway over the North Thompson River at Spences Bridge; (4) Paulson Bridge, a vital link in the Christina Lake-Kinnaird section of the Southern Trans- Provincial Highway; (5) Kootenay River Bridge on the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway near Creston, which is noteworthy as the first example of the " Stabbogen " bridge in Western Canada; and (6) Sicamous Narrows Bridge on the Trans-Canada Highway near Salmon Arm. The major crossing of the Fraser River near Prince George, destined to carry the relocated Cariboo Highway in this vicinity, showed steady progress toward early completion, while near the mouth of the same Fraser River the culminating phase in the completion of the notable Port Mann Bridge was entered, and the awe-inspiring proportions of this elegant structure began to become apparent. Reflecting the Department's efforts to provide modern high-speed highway facilities in the populous Vancouver area, some 31 overpasses, underpasses, and river-crossing structures were completed or under construction this year on the Deas Tunnel Throughway, the Burnaby Freeway, and the relocated Trans-Canada Highway between Abbotsford and the Port Mann Bridge. An incidental effect of constructing these high-speed facilities is the need to provide pedestrian overpasses for cross foot traffic, and the Bridge Branch has developed a unique design of such an overpass in aluminum, examples of which are serving at several locations on the Deas Tunnel Throughway and on the Trans-Canada Highway just south of the Pattullo Bridge. The challenge presented to the bridge-builders by British Columbia's varied topography can best be illustrated by brief descriptions of some of the special structures built or building during the year under review. Thus, in the remote North near Telegraph Creek, crossings over the Tuya and Tahlton Rivers required the design of REPORT OF SENIOR BRIDGE ENGINEER C 15 80-foot-long glue-laminated beams spliced in the middle so as to make it possible to transport them from Vancouver into this difficult terrain. Again, near Hells Gate, Fraser Canyon, the Trans-Canada Highway has to be supported across a notorious slide area, which was achieved by inventing a novel 236-foot reinforced-concrete tilted-barrel arch retaining structure springing from the solid rock on each side of the slide. Farther along the Trans-Canada Highway at Anderson River, near Boston Bar, and at Quartz Creek in the Rogers Pass section, the highway has to be carried in smooth high-speed curves over deep canyons, thus necessitating the design and construction of unique curved bridges at these locations. The large volume of bridge design and construction work continued to call for the retention of private consulting engineers throughout the year to augment the Bridge Engineer's staff, and it may be noted that the employment of such consultants demands much attention from the Department's own expert personnel in supervision, advice, and processing of projects so handled. Keen competition was exhibited by contractors bidding on bridge projects throughout the period under review, and construction materials were in plentiful supply. A description of the many new materials and techniques being developed in the bridge-construction field would demand too much space, but mention may be made of the new high-strength steels, the increased use of welding, the adoption of the orthotropic steel deck and the " Stabbogen " arch for bridges, the increasing use of prestressed concrete, the use of light-weight concrete, the remarkable development in the application of the epoxy resins, the structural use of aluminum, the production of better paints, and the development of glue-laminated timber construction. Despite the large programme of new bridge construction there remain in use a great number of older timber bridges, and our district forces continue with their commendable efforts to keep these in service until the day arrives when they can be replaced with modern structures. At the conclusion of the year the bridge-design programme was orientated toward bridge construction on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway, the North Thompson Highway, the Kootenay-Columbia Highway, the Cassiar-Stewart Highway, and on certain important, if isolated, bridge projects throughout the Province. ....._..-_,....

The Trans-Canada Highway construction and reconstruction included in these mileages was 18 miles (6 miles being multi-lane). Grading excavation in all contracts totalled 12,661,916 cubic yards of solid rock and other materials. The total for the Trans-Canada Highway included in this quantity was 4,508,146. Three very important new routes were completed and opened this year— the Rogers Pass route of the Trans-Canada Highway, the Deas Tunnel Throughway to the United States Border, and the Christina Lake-Kinnaird section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway. Work has been in progress on all these routes for several years. Construction is continuing on four other important new routes—Vancouver to Mount Lehman Interchange on the Trans-Canada Highway (multi-lane), the Salmo-Creston section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, the Tabor Lake- Lamming Mills section of the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway between Prince George and McBride, the Stewart-Dease Lake section of the Stewart-Watson Lake Road, and the Rossland-Sheep Lake Cut-off. By the end of the fiscal year the equivalent of 28 miles of a total of 35 miles were completed on the Trans-Canada Highway section, and 38 miles of the total 42 miles were completed on the Salmo-Creston section. Tabor Lake to Lamming Mills is 112 miles in total distance, and in this section 36 miles are under construction and an additional 26 miles cleared. The actual mileage completed is 24 miles, and the remaining gap not yet started is 50 miles. In the Rossland-Sheep Lake Cut-off, 5 miles of the total 17 miles have been completed. Progress on the Stewart-Dease Lake section is as follows: Stewart to Mile 26 completed (partly by day labour); Mile 26 to Mile 58 (32 miles) in progress, the equivalent of 15 miles being completed; Mile 58 to Mile 147 (89 miles) not yet started; Mile 147 to Mile 187 (40 miles) in progress, the equivalent of 17 miles being completed. From Mile 187 to Mile 269 (that is, Eddontenajon Lake to the north end of Dease Lake, 82 miles) has been completed by contract. The present road from Dease Lake to the Alaska Highway is approximately 132 miles, making the total distance 401 miles from Stewart to the Alaska Highway near Watson Lake. There are four main areas of reconstruction under way by contract in the Province of British Columbia. In the Fraser Canyon section of the Trans-Canada Highway, three contracts totalling 6.15 miles are in progress, including three tunnels. Four tunnels have previously been built in this section. On the Northern Trans- Provincial Highway, four contracts totalling 26.90 miles have been started between Terrace and Sheraton. On the Kootenay-Columbia Highway, four contracts totalling 44.05 miles have been started between Skookumchuck and Radium, which will bring all of Route No. 95 up to standard. On the Island Highway, the section from Menzies Bay to Sayward, totalling 30.62 miles, is approximately 35 per cent completed.

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF CONSTRUCTION C 33 PAVING SECTION (J. W. Kerr, Paving Engineer) General Because of an early start in the year and good fall weather, the volume of paving work completed in 1962 was maintained at a normal level, despite very poor summer weather. However, due to delays in grade construction resulting from adverse weather conditions, it was not possible to start work on all projects included in the proposed paving programme for 1962/63. Eleven carry-over projects were completed, and of 19 projects contracted in 1962, all but four were substantially completed. In-service Training The same general policy of in-service training has been carried out. However, in 1962 further steps were taken to integrate the training syllabus and examinations of construction grading and paving personnel in order to increase the flexibility of the employment of engineering aides within the Construction Branch. Gravel-base Construction As in previous years, crushed granular base strengthening was placed on existing pavements, as a result of Benkelman beam strength evaluations, before asphalt- concrete recap was applied to the road on six projects. On three projects crushed granular base, which had not been included in grading projects, was produced and constructed on the grade prior to construction of asphalt-concrete pavement. Cement-treated Base Construction A further 10.7 miles of cement-treated base was constructed from the Alberta Border toward Pouce Coupe. Satisfactory density, strength, and economy of construction were realized, but again difficulty was experienced in finishing off the surface of the base to the desired grade and shape considered necessary to obtain a satisfactory ride after the application of an economical thickness of asphalt-concrete wearing surface. Hot-mix Asphalt Base and Surface Course Construction On eight projects, use was made of hot plant-mixed asphalt concrete as base- course material to provide extra pavement strength where strength evaluations indicated strengthening was required. A total length of 227 miles of highway was paved with asphalt concrete by contract and 28.6 miles of asphalt-concrete shoulder paving was done on three Trans-Canada Highway projects between Glacier Park and Yoho Park. Some short test sections incorporating commercial mineral fillers were laid in the Lower Mainland. At Prince Rupert the crushing of aggregate was carried on through the winter and spring. Surface Treatments Approximately 17 miles of chip sealing were completed on the Elko-Roosville Highway by Departmental forces, using aggregate crushed by contract in 1961. No new contracts were awarded for surface treatment work, but assistance was given to Region No. 4 maintenance districts to enable them to apply a sand seal to 52 miles of weathered pulvimix surfacing on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway between Prince George and Telkwa. C 34 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 Departmental Pulvimixers Because of the cool, wet summer weather, especially in Region No. 4, the length and quality of pulvimixed road surfacing fell below normal. A total of approximately 90 miles was mixed and laid by the two Departmental pulvimix crews. In order to complete the road-mix surfacing programme, financial assistance was given to district forces to perform approximately 36 miles of road mixing which could not be done before the end of the season by the headquarters pulvimix crews. Curb, Gutter, and Storm Drainage Hastings Street East—Esmond Avenue to Gilmore Avenue and Gamma Avenue to Springer Avenue.—An additional 0.68 mile of Hastings Street in the Municipality of Burnaby was completed, with curb and gutter, drainage structures, and asphalt- concrete paving installed. Penticton Arterial—Eckhart Avenue to Skaha Lake.—The Department has entered into an agreement with the City of Penticton to pay a portion of the cost (over a two-year period) of curb and gutter, storm drains, and paving the arterial highway between Eckhart Avenue and Skaha Lake. The first phase was completed in September. Terrace Arterial.—The Department made an agreement to pay 50 per cent of the cost of curb and gutter, storm drainage, and paving of the arterial highway in Terrace, all of which was completed during the season. Glover Road, Municipality of Langley.—The Department completed two blocks of curb and gutter, storm drainage, and paving on Glover Road from the intersection of the old Trans-Canada Highway northwards. Ashcroft.—Forty-six hundred lineal feet of curb and gutter were installed on the arterial highway through Ashcroft, drainage being effected by construction of dry wells. Asphalt-pavement Burner With the increase in mileage and over-all age of our asphalt pavements, slick patches have appeared in some localities because asphalt has been drawn to pavement surfaces by weather and the action of traffic. As these slippery areas could prove hazardous to traffic under poor driving conditions, an attempt has been made to provide an economical remedy. Early in 1962 the Services Engineer constructed a truck-mounted propane- fired high-intensity asphalt-pavement burner. This machine, which is generally similar to pavement-burners being successfully used in Oregon and Ontario, is to be used to burn off free asphalt which for various reasons may appear on road surfaces. The purpose of the burner is to provide intense surface heat for a very short period, which will flush off the free surface asphalt without overheating the mat, thus avoiding damage to the binder in the underlying asphalt pavement. Two short pavement-burning programmes were completed in the spring and fall of 1962, using a foreman and driver from one of the pulvimix crews to carry out the work. Results were generally as satisfactory as could be expected from the use of a new technique. As a result of experience gained, some modifications are being made to the burner, and improved results are expected from future burning work.

This photography was utilized to produce 48 miles of reconnaissance-type mapping and 7 miles of large-scale mapping. From the mapping procured this year and previous years, 219 miles of centre-line projections were analysed on the electronic computer, from which 47 miles of final location were determined. Reports were prepared and submitted on the connection from Queensborough Bridge to 10th Avenue in New Westminster, the Mission By-pass (Lougheed Highway), the rerouting of Highway No. 11 between Abbotsford and Mission, and alternative crossings of the Pitt River (Lougheed Highway). Preliminary intersection and interchange designs were complete on the following junctions: (1) Prince George Access at the new Fraser River Crossing, Cariboo Highway; (2) Northern Trans-Provincial Highway and Terrace-Kitimat Highway; (3) Cowichan Bay Road and Trans-Canada Highway south of Koksilah; (4) McDermott Interchange, McDermott and Trans-Canada Highway; (5) Ladner Interchange (exit-ramp improvement).

Computer Section Computer operation expanded considerably during the fiscal year 1962/63. Nearly 700 hours of computer time were used, at a cost of $15,500; just under half this time was on the I.B.M. 650. The D.T.M. II programme was used for the analysis of eight preliminary earthwork projects, 250 miles of alternative lines being computed to obtain 52 miles of centre-line location. Fifteen final earthwork projects were run on the Earthwork IV programme, representing 75 miles of highway, mostly on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway. One hundred and thirty-three traverses were processed, using the Surmap 02n programme. Programmes are now being written for the I.B.M. 1620, a more modern computer which is due for delivery in September. This machine is considerably faster than the I.B.M. 650, and has three times its capacity, enabling more comprehensive programmes to be used.

Brawner, Senior Materials Engineer) The Testing Branch during the current year has continued to provide foundation information for structures and construction projects, testing services for materials, advice and research on problems encountered by all branches of the Department. The following is a summary of these activities during 1962/63. Bridge Foundations Drilling investigations have been carried out for 50 bridges. These include seven large structures—namely, the Pritchard Bridge across the South Thompson River, Copper River Bridge near Terrace, Fraser River Bridge at McBride, Kootenay * Continuing survey. t Previous continuing survey now complete. C 48 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 River Bridge at Fort Steele, Peace River Bridge at Hudson Hope, Kootenay River Bridge at Wasa, and the Skeena River Bridge at Terrace. Twenty of the bridges are situated on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway and nine are on the Trans- Canada Highway. Some 15,000 feet of drilling has been performed for these investigations, and about 3,000 soil samples were subjected to testing. Soil Surveys Soil surveys were carried out over 90 miles of new location. The majority of this is carried out with light portable power-augers, although a proportion of deeper holes require heavier truck-mounted auger rigs. Gravel-pits were also investigated by drilling and by sinking test-pits. A report was written on each investigation, and sieve analyses carried out on the gravel. Landslides Two large landslides, involving about 20,000,000 cubic yards of earth, occurred on the Terrace-Kitimat Highway at Lakelse in May, 1962, within the space of two weeks. Both slides occurred in very soft, sensitive, marine clay, totally destroying the new grade for about 0.75 mile and 0.50 mile respectively. The movements occurred rapidly, the clay turning to a virtual liquid condition, which flowed down a rather gentle slope, and in the case of the second slide moved 2 miles into Lakelse Lake. An extensive drilling and testing investigation was carried out to determine the boundaries of the soft clay and to determine where and how the new road should be reconstructed. Eventually it was proved possible to rebuild the road over the soft mud of the slide area, using a combination of mud displacement and corduroy construction. This is now complete, and no further movements have been detected. Several smaller slides have been investigated, and a close watch is being kept upon the stability of Drynoch Slide, several slide areas on the Alaska Highway, and at the Peace River Bridge at Taylor. Pavement Design Three hundred and sixty-three miles of new and reconstructed pavement were designed, using information obtained by the use of the Benkelman beam. One hundred and thirty-nine miles of control sections were tested to determine spring restriction allowances; 88 miles of base under construction and 389 miles of existing pavement were tested for strength and adequacy. The use of the Benkelman beam for measuring deflections under a wheel load combined with method of evaluating pavement conditions, using a team of experienced evaluators, is providing an increasing amount of accurate data for designing pavements. Paint-testing Road-marking paints, bridge paints, licence enamels and paints for use on the new Government ferries were tested to determine whether they met Government specifications. In addition, investigations were carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of different paint systems for the protection of steel bridges. In order to ensure that the Department receives the paint specified, a new inspection system has been devised and is being tried out. At present this will apply only to paint for bridges. The Department's inspectors arrange to sample and affix a tag to each paint-container as it is filled at the manufacturers. These samples are C 50 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 tested for compliance with specifications. The manufacturer also does his own control testing, the results of which are reported to the Department. If both tests agree, the paint is approved. Unsatisfactory tests are reported to the Bridge Branch for further action. Materials-testing The Vancouver laboratory has continued to inspect wooden piles; concrete, steel, and timber culverts; structural lumber; and precast products at the manufacturer's premises before delivery. As a result, materials which arrive at the job-site meet specifications, thus saving long delays caused when unsatisfactory articles must be replaced, often at sites remote from the supplier. Concrete Forty-two concrete-mix designs for various projects were prepared in the Victoria laboratory. The four regional laboratories handled the control testing of concrete pours, breaking cylinders, slump tests, air-content tests, and water-cement ratio control. In addition, 45 tests were made on concrete aggregates to determine their suitability for concrete. Gravel Prospecting Gravel-pits were investigated during the year to provide information for construction projects, location surveys, and District Engineers. In many cases the pits investigated were located from aerial photographs and proved by drilling. Miscellaneous Investigations Many unusual problems which require special investigation are received in the Testing Branch. Among those worked on during the year are skid resistance of road surfacings, measuring the amount of corrosion occurring on steel culverts in various situations, the suitability of aluminum culvert pipe, the measurement of moisture tensions in subgrades, measurement of the loads exerted on retaining-walls, development of an earth-pressure cell, evaluation of adhesion properties of thin asphalt surfacings to concrete, measurement of the adhesion of epoxy resins to concrete, the effect of fillers in asphaltic concrete, and investigations into the Theological properties of culvert asphalts. Revisions to specifications were made where research showed a practical requirement. TRAFFIC BRANCH (J. H. Harding, Senior Traffic Engineer) This year 40 additional locations were added to the list of points throughout the Province where short traffic counts are taken annually. This brings the total of these points to 698. Counts were also taken for special purposes in a number of areas. Six additional permanent count stations were installed, bringing to 13 the number of locations throughout the Province where continuous traffic-volume data are being recorded. Traffic volumes in 1962 showed increases over 1961 volumes of approximately 11 per cent in the Northern Interior, 7 per cent in the Southern Interior, 5 per cent on Vancouver Island, and 3 per cent in the Fraser Valley. The Rogers Pass section of the Trans-Canada Highway, opened July 30, 1962, carried an average of 3,500 vehicles per day during the first month it was open. During the year a substantial increase was recorded in the number of requests from within the Department and from the public for traffic-volume data. REPORT OF DESIGN AND PLANNING ENGINEER C 51 A considerable number of additional distance signs were installed during the year. There are now, with only a few exceptions, distance signs every 10 miles on all major highways south of Prince George and distance signs every 20 miles on highways north of Prince George. Freeway directional signing was installed on the Deas Tunnel Throughway between the International Border and the Ladner Trunk Road. Signs as large as 8 by 20 feet were employed on this section. To keep pace with changing conditions, a number of speed zones were studied and changes were made where necessary to keep speed-limits realistic. Eighty-nine 400-watt mercury luminaires were installed on the Abbotsford and Chilliwack By-passes. A number of smaller lighting installations were also completed. Financial assistance was extended to municipalities to assist them in lighting arterial highways within their boundaries. Numerous requests for traffic signals were investigated, and 13 signals and 9 flashing beacons were installed where warrants were found to be filled. Major revisions were also made to five signals. Many minor revisions were carried out to accommodate changing traffic patterns. There are now well over 100 traffic signals and 40 beacons on arterial highways in the Province. A number of intersection problems were investigated, and channelization, signing, pavement markings, etc., were installed or revised where necessary. In co-operation with the railways and with major financial assistance from the Board of Transport Commissioners, signals were installed on 20 level railway crossings. There are now some 220 signalized railway crossings on highways under the jurisdiction of the Department. The Department continued its role of co-operation with other agencies. In the fields of traffic and planning, the Senior Traffic Engineer represented the Department on the British Columbia Safety Council, the Capital Region Planning Board, and the Canadian Good Roads Association Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada. E. B. Wilkins, Design and Planning Engineer. ■ ■ . ......... REPORT OF SERVICES ENGINEER C 53 REPORT OF THE CHIEF RIGHT-OF-WAY AGENT During the 1962/63 fiscal year a total of 537 settlements was negotiated and processed. Two claims were submitted to arbitration proceedings for adjudication. The expenditure for right-of-way and other properties acquired by the Department totalled $1,114,310.03. This includes holdings purchased on behalf of the British Columbia Toll Highways and Bridges Authority. There were 24 sales by public tender or public auction of lands surplus to highway requirements and of buildings to be cleared from rights-of-way, with a recovery of funds totalling $12,011.30. Gross revenue from rentals, including rentals prior to disposal of lands and buildings, was $69,842.32. The number of properties under short-term lease or rental totalled 134. The legal surveys programme is sufficiently advanced to facilitate public sales of lands held surplus to right-of-way requirements. These surveys have also enabled owners of properties abutting the rights-of-way to proceed with subdivision work without undue delay. L. J. Moore, Chief Right-of-way Agent. REPORT OF THE SERVICES ENGINEER EQUIPMENT During the year a net total of $4,227,655.77 was expended to cover the cost of labour, repairs, fuel, and garage overhead required to operate equipment owned by the Government and operated by the Department of Highways. The sum of $2,058,493.54 was expended on the purchase of new equipment, as follows: 24 graders, 10 crawler tractors, 1 street-sweeper, 2 asphalt-distributors, 15 vibrating rollers, 1 35-ton trailer, 3 compressors, 38 4-ton trucks, 3 5-ton tandem trucks, 10 %-ton pick-ups, 20 personnel carriers, 12 sundry vehicles, 17 tractor loaders, 28 tractor mowers, 2 screening plants, 3 self-propelled rollers, 15 trailer- type sweepers, 5 maintenance kettles, 1 hydro seeder, 14 Vi-ton pick-ups, 1 Pacific snow truck, 2 tractor trucks, 12 station wagons, and sundry small equipment such as snow-ploughs, garage equipment, etc. SIGN-SHOP From the period April 1, 1962, to March 31, 1963, a total of 26,091 metal and plywood signs was produced. Metal signs range in size from 12 by 12 inches to 30 by 30 inches, and plywood signs range in size from 36 by 36 inches to 20 by 8 feet. In addition, a total of 8,729 delineators (3 by 8 inches) was produced. A total of 58,425 square feet of Scotchlite was purchased and appl;ed during the same period. The net expenditure of $158,883.72 was incurred in the production of these signs. GRAVEL-CRUSHING Six Departmental crushers were operated in 41 different locations, to produce approximately 1,550,000 tons of gravel. C 54 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 MIXING PLANTS Two Departmental mixing plants operated in 39 different locations, producing 38,534 cubic yards of asphalt patching material. FERRIES (H. K. Gann, Superintendent of Ferries) During the 1962/63 fiscal year, a total of 52 ferries of all types was operated under the jurisdiction of this Department. The fleet included 12 Government-owned major ferries, 14 Government-owned power-cable ferries, 15 Government-owned reaction ferries, 4 Government-owned miscellaneous ferries, and 7 privately owned subsidized ferries. Traffic The entire fleet carried a total of 2,042,626 vehicles and 5,228,803 passengers. This was an increase of 110,282 vehicles and 312,307 passengers over the preceding year. This increase was considerably above the normal annual increase. The Castlegar ferries continued to carry the largest volume of traffic moved at any ferry- site. This ferry carried 894,198 vehicles and 2,133,393 passengers. Maintenance All ferries were inspected during the year, and recommended repairs were carried out. Eleven major ferries were completely overhauled, and seven of these were dry-docked for steamship inspection. Relief ferries were arranged during the overhaul periods in order to avoid any disruption of service. New Construction and Major Repairs A new landing was built for the Barnston Island Ferry on the mainland side. The new 50-ton vehicle ferry was installed at Hudson Hope and proved very popular during the summer. A barge-type ferry crossing the Stikine River on the Stewart- Cassiar Road has been taken over by the Department and new machinery installed. The ferry at Twidwell Bend on the Pine River was replaced by a bridge. The former Kelowna ferry " Lloyd Jones" was transferred to the Toll Authority.

The de-icing hammers developed for remote sites have proved successful, and no instance of circuit outage due to icing was encountered despite unusually heavy icing conditions. The first full year of operation on the Rogers Pass radio system, designed to carry National parks and R.C.M.P. communications as well as our own, has proved adequate and satisfactory to all concerned. Numerous radio surveys were undertaken, and installations on Vancouver Island, Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland, and the Sechelt-Powell River area were completed. Base stations were added at Alexis Creek, Anahim Lake, Bella Coola, and McBride, and two base stations and four mobile units were added for construction on the Cassiar Road. Some 122 mobile units were also added to the system. Increasing use of the radio system is being made by headquarters branches, such as Construction, Location, Traffic, and Materials Branches, due to the greatly increased efficiency noted in both time and mileage effected with rapid communication. Preliminary development work was undertaken on an automatic self-contained repeater with a six months' supply of fuel and no moving parts which may be placed on remote sites by helicopter as a complete working unit. Co-operation continued with other departments and agencies, and sharing of radio-sites developed by this Department now includes the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Forest Service, B.C. Telephone, Canadian National Railways, British Columbia Hydro and Power Commission, and West Kootenay Power and Light Company. INSURANCE AND SAFETY (J. A.

REPORT OF PERSONNEL OFFICER C 59 The type and wearing of hard hats have been standardized, and signal paddles substituted for flags. Also, red vests are now supplied for survey crews, patching crews, etc. There were eight fatal accidents in the reporting year. Two of these were in an aircraft, one by drowning, one from over-exertion, three involved motor-vehicles, and one from a tree sprung from tension of telephone wires. Of the three which involved motor-vehicles, one employee was struck by a private automobile, one was caught between two Departmental trucks, and one was trapped by a scraper which overturned. The Interdepartmental Safety Committee met in 16 meetings and examined reports of 534 accidents, making recommendations of assessments in 158 of these. The Chairman expresses appreciation to the members for their assistance during the year. F. A. MacLean, Services Engineer.

Ltd. - C 72 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 REPORT OF THE SENIOR MAINTENANCE ENGINEER The total expenditure for all maintenance of highways amounted to $17,- 875,545. This was an increase of $596,000 over the previous year's expenditure. There has been an increase in scope of operations during the year due primarily to the additional mileage of new highways and freeways which are added to the highway system. The increased funds, together with the knowledge gained by studying and revising maintenance procedures, have resulted in a continual increase in the standard of maintenance. An asphalt patching school was started in the summer of 1962, and immediate results could be seen throughout the Province. Foremen in charge of patching crews were sent to a working-school, where they were required to do the actual patching. This close touch with the work rather than teaching by lecturing resulted in outstanding results. The Department expects to carry out schools in other phases of maintenance work in order to raise the general standard of work, improve efficiency, and to derive a standard approach to procedures which in the past have varied considerably. Another successful year of routine maintenance was carried out. The highspeed equipment which the Department has been buying and manufacturing has proven extremely effective. The Province keeps over 19,000 miles of road open in the winter, which makes winter maintenance a major operation. Besides obtaining and using the new high-speed equipment, we are increasing the use of chemicals, such as salt and calcium chloride, to further improve the whole operation and give better service to the travelling public. Last winter was the first time the Rogers Pass and Blueberry-Paulson roads were kept open to the public. Our facilities handled the operation very efficiently with only very minor traffic closures. Radio communications continue to be an asset to the winter maintenance operations, as it is throughout the rest of the year on other maintenance work. Further expansions were made to take in areas not previously covered or improvements were made in areas in which the coverage was only fair. The maintenance of bridges is satisfactorily carried out by bridge crews stationed in each district. They also undertake to replace wooden structures which need reconstruction. A continuing programme of bridge elimination with culverts and fills is carried out wherever it is possible to make the substitution. In order to meet the demands of increasing traffic on minor roads, Departmental crews carry out minor betterments either with Departmental or with hired equipment. The cost of these improvements is not included in the above-noted maintenance expenditures and amounts to approximately $6,000,000 for the fiscal year. Generally, I am extremely pleased with the work that has been carried out and the improvement in methods made in the last year. J. A. Dennison, Senior Maintenance Engineer. REGIONAL REPORTS C 73 REGIONAL REPORTS REGION No. 1 (D. D. Godfrey, Regional Highway Engineer, North Vancouver) Alberni, Burnaby, Chilliwack, Comox, Cowichan-Newcastle, Delta, Dewdney, Esquimalt, Lillooet (South), Mackenzie, Nanaimo-Islands, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Saanich, and Vancouver-Point Grey Electoral Districts. Alberni District A progressive programme of providing shoulders on established paved roads was carried out in the Alberni Valley. A 20-mile section of the Ucluelet-Tofino Road was reconstructed in preparation for paving. A mile section of Stirling Arm Drive was reconstructed and paved. This involved rather extensive rock work to remove sharp corners. The snow and ice problem was extremely light in the area and was handled for the most part by use of chemicals. Burnaby District Roads Maintenance.—Roads were maintained in good condition throughout the District. All guard-rails and signposts were treated with soil sterilent. Construction.—Widening to three lanes was carried out on Grandview Highway between Gilmore and Willingdon Avenues, a distance of 0.38 mile. The Burnaby yard was paved. Bituminous Surface Treatment on Shoulders.—Shoulders on the Barnet Highway were treated for a distance of 1.72 miles from North Road east. The treatment consisted of one application each of special prime S.C. 6 asphalt and Vz- to %-inch rock-chip cover stone. Snow Removal.—Snowfall was not excessive, the total accumulated amount being approximately 15 inches. Traffic flow was maintained at all times with minimum delay. Night patrols were maintained throughout the winter to ensure that immediate action could be taken in the event of ice or snow conditions. Approximately 240 tons of salt were used to combat the ice and snow. Bridges Normal maintenance and repairs were carried out on all bridges in the district. Chilliwack District Roads Maintenance.—All roads were well maintained. Extensive mowing of the Trans-Canada Highway was necessary. Considerable gravelling was done on Frost Road and on Columbia Valley Road. Weed-spraying was carried out on the main highways. Calcium chloride and salt were used as a dust-layer, but not too successfully due to weather conditions. C 74 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 Bituminous Surfacing.—Extensive patching was carried out on the Abbotsford- Mission Highway. Hot-mix paving was laid on 1 mile of the Chilliwack Lake Road and 1 mile of the Columbia Valley Road. A 1,000-foot detour at Jones Creek on the Trans-Canada Highway was paved. Construction.—Construction was completed on 1.7 miles of the Chilliwack Lake Road and on 2.0 miles of the Columbia Valley Road and 0.5 mile on Martens Road. Snow Removal.—Snowfall was light, and all roads were kept in good condition throughout the winter. Bridges A 90-foot Bailey bridge was erected on the detour over Jones Creek. All bridges were maintained in good condition. Chilliwack River Bridge No. 21 was widened 4 feet. Comox District Roads Maintenance.—Regular maintenance was carried out on all roads. Winter rainfall was normal, and snow-removal and salting costs were below average. New Construction.—On the Port McNeill-Port Alice Road, 1.40 miles of road were constructed. This completed our share of the work, a distance of 3.50 miles, in constructing the road betv/een Port McNeill and Port Alice. A log-stringer span was constructed across the Marble River. On Quadra Island, 2 miles of Bold Point Road were constructed, for a total of 4 miles from the Granite Bay Road. Reconstruction.—The Buttle Lake Road was reconstructed and paved from the Brewster Lake Road to Camp 8, a distance of 7.20 miles. On Denman Island, 2 miles of Denman Road were reconstructed and paved, for a total of 3 miles from the ferry-landing.

Elston, Regional Highway Engineer, Kamloops) Cariboo (South), Kamloops, Lillooet (North), North Okanagan, Revelstoke, Salmon Arm, Similkameen, South Okanagan, and Yale Electoral Districts Cariboo (South) District A wet summer with many thunder-storms hampered production and, entailing emergency repairs to soft sections and small washouts, interfered with planning of work until fall. Reconstruction of Exeter Station Road, No. 554, was completed and a rebuilding of the road between 100 Mile House and Forest Grove was started. Reconstruction of a 1.3-mile section of the Horsefly Road near China Cabin was continued. Thirty-three miles of the Chilcotin-Bella Coola Highway west of Anahim Lake and 25 miles of road in the Bridge Lake area were brushed to improve visibility and facilitate snow-ploughing. Gravelling, ditching, and culvert installation were done on numerous short sections and general maintenance carried out on some 1,500 miles of road. The old wooden suspension bridge across the Fraser River at Sheep Creek was demolished. New bridges were built at Jim Creek, Rat Creek, Sword Creek (Mel- drum No. 1), Seymour Creek, and Newton Creek (No. 1). The winter offered below-average snowfall in most areas and a light and early local run-off. Kamloops District Roads Trunk and Main Highways.—General maintenance was carried out on all trunk and main highways. Due to the opening of the Rogers Pass section of the Trans-Canada Highway, the shoulder-restoration, weed-control, and sign-maintenance programme was pushed to completion. Special emphasis forced the completion of this work prior to the July 30th opening. The costing of the Trans-Canada Highway mamtenance proved to be of some value and was continued. Sanding operations had to be carried out extensively, as we had a relatively mild year with a fair amount of light precipitation. Tlrs necessitated sanding operations to be carried out at an accelerated pace. Also, a great amount of chemical was used to bring about a bare pavement as soon as possible after a freeze. C 82 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 Other Highways and Roads.—Routine maintenance was carried out on other roads, with special emphasis to try to get a coat of gravel over a number of busier roads to alleviate the dust problem. Snowfalls were light. However, there were icing conditions and a great demand for sanding in the hazardous areas. Day-labour Construction.—On North Thompson Highway 2.1 miles were reconstructed to standard. Four and one-half miles were gravelled and prepared for pulvimixing. The pulvimixing was carried out by the headquarters crew and completed. Twenty miles of the North Thompson Highway in the area of Albreda were improved by widening corners and gravelling. On Highland Valley Road 10 miles were reconstructed and the first lift of gravel was placed. Sundry Roads.—Approximately 50 miles of surface gravelling was carried out. Forty miles of other roads had some improvements, such as widening, slashing, ditching, and some spot gravelling. All gravel roads in Valleyview, Powers Addition, Brocklehurst, Westsyde, and Barriere were oiled with Bunker B.

Two bridges, Barricade Creek, No. 240, and Whitewood Creek, No. 208, were reconstructed. A number of other bridges had considerable amount of maintenance, such as needle-beam replacement, guard-rails, sundry decking, etc. Another item which took considerable time was the landscaping and general approach work to Overlanders Bridge, No. 238. This work is approximately 60 per cent complete. Ferries All ferries were checked, painted where necessary, and other general maintenance was carried out. There were short operations interruptions during high water and due to icing conditions. Lillooet (North) District Roads Maintenance.—Routine maintenance was carried out on all district roads. Heavy concentrations of slide material were removed over a 50-mile section of the Lillooet-Pioneer Highway. Extensive brush-control and weed-spraying programmes were completed on various roads. Construction.—One-half mile of heavy construction was done on Highway No. 12, 17 miles south of Lillooet. This included removal of some 25,000 cubic yards of rock and placing of a 70,000-cubic-yard fill. One and one-half miles of the Bralorne-Pemberton Highway were bulldozed through, some of this being slide rock and other difficult material. Six and one-half miles of new road were built and taken over for the Lands Department. One mile of frontage roads was constructed at Spences Bridge, this being necessitated by the new by-pass. REGIONAL REPORTS C 83 Reconstruction.—Some 20 miles of district roads were realigned and brought up to a higher standard. This included 2 miles of rock work 6 miles east of Lillooet on Highway No. 12 and 2 miles of rock work on Highway No. 40, 3 miles east of Lillooet. Widening and raising of the grade on Highway No. 171 were carried out for 1.2 miles, north of Pemberton. Paving.—Further paving of Spences Bridge and Cache Creek streets was carried out, as well as extensive patching on some of the minor roads. Snow Removal.—Snowfall was generally lighter over the district, resulting in increased icing conditions. Twenty-four-hour ploughing and sanding patrols were maintained on the Trans-Canada and Cariboo Highways. Bridges A new bridge was constructed over the Arn River north of Pemberton. Extensive redeck'ng was carried out on other bridges in the Pemberton area. The suspension bridge over the Fraser River at Churn Creek was realigned through cable manipulation, and renewing of timbers and decking was carried out on the Lillooet Suspension Bridge. Ferries The new cage on the Big Bar ferry cable has proved satisfactory, and new checker marking was painted on the reaction ferry itself. North Okanagan District Roads Maintenance.—Routine maintenance was carried on throughout the district and a much higher standard achieved. Extensive improvements in shouldering, brushing, patching, and improving sight distance has most certainly improved the main routes. Construction and Surfacing.—No contract work in last year, but district forces improved 30.50 miles of road; of this, 16.75 miles were paved by pulvimix and 10.25 miles by road mix, by district forces. Snow Removal.—With below normal snowfall and with more rain and frost, more hazardous conditions than usual were created. A good standard of maintenance and service was carried out at all times. Bridges One small timber bridge was completely renewed, and three were replaced by multi-plate pipe arch and culvert. Major repairs were made to an 87-foot timber brdge, and minor repairs and maintenance to several other bridges. Revelstoke District Roads Maintenance crews concentrated on various projects on the Trans-Canada Highway east and west of Revelstoke. Snow removal was controlled on the Revel- stoke-Arrowhead Road, therefore resulting in very few muddy sections. Calcium chloride was used on the Big Bend Highway and the Revelstoke- Arrowhead Road for dust control. ■ REGIONAL REPORTS C 85 Trans-Canada Highway.—Clearing snowslides and slope slides and sanding and ploughing were worked out on a three-8-hour-shift system with maintenance, therefore resulting in very few closures and the Trans-Canada Highway kept in good condition at all times. Except for the Silver Creek Cut and the Lanark Slide, no exceptional maintenance on slides was required. The year was highlighted by the opening of the Trans-Canada Highway on July 30, 1962, by Premier W. A. C. Bennett and the Honourable P. A. Gaglardi, with various dignitaries attending the ceremonies, 7 miles east of Revelstoke. Communications.—Communications in the Revelstoke District are very good, except for the Galena Pass area.

Twelve miles of side-road were reconstructed for paving. There were 2.3 miles of new road constructed in the South Okanagan Land Project. Snow Removal.—Snowfall was generally lighter. However, the higher temperature and midwinter rains resulted in a greater use of chemicals and sand throughout the district. Bridges Maintenance of bridges, including cleaning, painting, and minor repairs, was carried out. Two bridges were constructed and six bridges reconstructed. A highway deck and railing were placed on the old Great Northern Railway Bridge west of Keremeos in conjunction with the Forest Service's access road to the Ashnola River basin. South Okanagan District Roads Maintenance.—General maintenance was increased on side-roads, with emphasis on ditching, patching, and improved grading. A weed-spray programme was commenced, using Simazine and 2-4-D. The success achieved warrants increased use of these chemicals for weed and brush control on the rights-of-way. Reconstruction.-—Four dangerous corners north of Kelowna on Highway No. 97 were eliminated. Shoulders were widened to a 10-foot standard on 14 miles of Highway No. 97. Preparatory to paving, 9.4 miles of side-roads were reconstructed.

Bridges McDougall Creek Bridge on Highway No. 97 was widened. C 88 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 Yale District Roads Maintenance.—General maintenance was carried out on all roads in the district. Weed and brush killers were applied to the main highways. A total of 9.3 miles of revision of grade and alignment and gravelling was completed on side-roads in the Merritt area. On November 19, 1962, heavy rain and gale-force winds caused large washouts and flooding on the Trans-Canada Highway at Texas Creek, Mill Creek, and Gordon Creek, closing the highway for a 24-hour period. At the same time, washouts and bridge damage closed the Silver Skagit Road and isolated a family at Mile 25. A tote-road was immediately pushed through to rescue the family. On February 3, 1963, heavy rainfall caused two major washouts on the Trans- Canada Highway at Tank Creek, closing the highway for five days. To restore traffic it was necessary to construct a detour road and erect a Bailey bridge. The China Bar Tunnel was opened for traffic in the spring of the year. Major Construction and Reconstruction.—On the Merritt—Spences Bridge Road between Mile 4.5 and Mile 5.5, several rock corners were widened. In addition, an extensive shouldering programme was completed throughout the length of this highway.

Use of the detour was discontinued on October 5th with the opening of Paulson Bridge. Some 6,985 feet of asphalt guard-rail were installed by district forces on the Christina-Kinnaird section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway. Snow Removal.—Snowfall was considerably less than normal throughout the district, and snow-ploughing and sanding were reduced on many roads. No difficulty was experienced in keeping the new Christina-Kinnaird section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway open, but extensive sanding was required on the steep grades. Bridges All bridges were maintained. A new 33-foot log-stringer bridge was constructed over McRae Creek at Lafferty to provide access to a sand-pit. On September 8th the 460-foot Cascade Lower Bridge, consisting of two Howe trusses and approach spans, was destroyed by fire of undetermined origin, closing Highway No. 395 from Christina to the United States Border at Laurier. Cascade Upper Bridge, which had been closed for some years, was repaired and opened to provide a by-pass route for Highway No. 395. Kaslo-Slocan District Roads Road-mix pavement was laid on a total of 42 miles of main roads. Work was started on the rock bluffs south of Ainsworth and just north of Coffee Creek. Concentration of all district forces and equipment on projects together with the new loader units, trucks, and a low-bed trailer made possible a great amount of progress. The amount of snowfall was lighter than average. Intermittent thawing and freezing required more than usual sanding operations. Bridges The major item under bridges was the destruction and replacement by fill of the old "A" Avenue tresde on the arterial highway in Kaslo. Several bridges in the Lardeau Valley had their foundation piles renewed. The Ferrett Bridge in the Inonoaklin Valley was a major replacement by trestle. Three other bridges—the Leet on the back road to Kaslo, the Zwicky on the Kokanee Glacier access road up South Fork, the Payne up in the Galena Bay area—were replaced by log-stringer spans. A foot-bridge replaced the condemned Colegrave Bridge just outside Edgewood. Ferries Maintaining full-time service was difficult due to motor repairs, and the rental of tugs was a problem to move both Arrow Park and Needles ferries. More cable replacements than normal may be the result of increased traffic or a difference in quality of recent cables supplied. A different specification is being given for the next cables. A gravel-filled ramp between rock-filled cribs was built at Fauquier at an estimated saving of $10,000 over the usual trestle-type landing approach. Tie-down piles were driven to hold the Needles ramp in place. — regional reports c 93 Nelson-Creston District Roads Work continued on the Nelson-Castlegar section on Highway No. 3, with the Bear Creek section west for 0.3 mile being road-mixed, and continuation of construction of Beasley-Bonnington section for 2 miles. Realignment of approaches to Shoreacres Bridge was completed. On Goatfell-Creston section of Highway No. 3, construction continued for 1.5 miles. This section was also road-mixed. Kootenay Bay-Creston section at Boswell was gravelled in preparation for paving. In the Nelson area, Knox Road between Golf Links and Granite Road was constructed for approximately 0.25 mile. Blewett Road was widened, ditched, gravelled, and road-mixed from Highway No. 3 for 2 miles. Pass Creek Road was gravelled. In the Creston area, approaches to Kootenay River Bridge were completed, approximately 0.6 mile, and West Creston Road was gravelled. Creston Orchard Road was road-mixed for approximately 3.5 miles. Harrop-Procter Road was gravelled and road-mixed for 0.3 mile. In addition, normal maintenance was carried out on all district roads, with shouldering being carried out on Nelson-Castlegar and Nelson-Balfour Highway No. 3. Bridges All bridges were maintained as required. Ferries The Kootenay Lake ferries continued their operation, carrying on an increased volume of traffic. During months of July and August a 50-minute schedule was maintained. Restrooms were constructed at Balfour. Nicks Island ferry was replaced with opening of Kootenay River Bridge. Rossland-Trail District Roads Major reconstruction was carried out and road-mix paving laid on the arterial highway in Fruitvale between the railway crossing and Beaver Creek. Considerable widening and ditch improvements were done between Blueberry and Castlegar on Highway No. 3a. A total of 12.35 miles of road-mix paving was laid in all large subdivisions. Two extensive washouts were repaired and multi-plate culverts installed at Sullivan and Ryan Creeks. Christina-Kinnaird section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway was officially opened. Bridges Major repairs were made to the old Trail Bridge; a complete new deck system and sidewalk were constructed. The superstructure was painted by our Vancouver bridge crew. This bridge was then officially turned over to the City of Trail. Ferries The Castlegar ferries continued to carry an increased volume of traffic; both ferries were employed throughout the summer months. C 94 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 Buildings A start was made on an equipment building at Castlegar. This project will continue through 1963/64. REGION No. 4 (R. G. Harvey, Regional Highway Engineer, Prince George) Atlin, Cariboo (North), Fort George, North Peace River, Omineca, Prince Rupert, Skeena, and South Peace River Electoral Districts Atlin (North) District Roads Spring break-up was normal. The usual break-up repairs were promptly done. Small revisions were made on the Watson Lake-Cassiar Road during the summer. Normal maintenance was performed. The Atlin Highway, Watson Lake-Cassiar Road, and streets in Telegraph Creek, Atlin, and Lower Post were kept open during the winter. The Telegraph Creek and Stewart Highway had snow removed in December and again in March. Snowfall in the district was heavier than normal. The Allen Lake Camp-site was cleared in November. Bridges The Tahltan and Tuya Bridges were reconstructed during the winter months, Atlin (South) District Roads in the Stewart and Alice Arm areas required extensive repairs due to flood damage. The Bear River Canyon section of the Stewart—Cassiar Road was restored only to tote-road standard at present, and a 2-mile section at Glacier Creek was completely rebuilt, eliminating a crossing of Glacier Creek. Cariboo (North) District Roads Maintenance.—Routine maintenance was carried out throughout the year on all roads, with particular emphasis on the Cariboo Highway. This highway work included corrections to several fill failures, repairs to cracks in 20 miles of soil-cement base, patching of pavement between Alexandria and Quesnel, and repairs to shoulders, which included the installation of asphalt flumes where ordinary drains were inadequate. Major improvements were carried out on the Barkerville Road, on which 11.2 miles between Mile 13 and Mile 44 were widened. Calcium chloride was applied to 41 miles as a dust palliative. Major improvements on other roads consisted of approximately 22 miles of widening and 67 miles of gravelling. Construction.—On the Barkerville Road 2.2 miles were reconstructed, including base-processing, and another 7.0 miles were gravelled. On the Fraser Road 0.3 mile of the Narcosli Hill was reconstructed. Paving.—Storm drainage was installed in Quesnel on Carson Avenue between Kinchant Street and Front Street prior to the construction of curb and gutter and paving by contract. A total of 9.2 miles of pulvimix was laid on the Barkerville Road. Snow Removal.—Icing conditions required the use of a considerable amount of sand and of chemicals. C 96 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 Bridges Regular maintenance was carried out on all bridges. Beavermouth Bridge, No. 71, which was washed out during high water, was rebuilt completely. Ferries The approach roads, ramps, towers, and a ferryman's house were completed on the new site for the Soda Creek ferry. The ferry boat itself was also rebuilt. The Macalister ferry, which was damaged by ice-flow the previous winter, was also rebuilt. Fort George District Roads Roads within the district remained in reasonable condition throughout the summer, although a cool and wet season allowed little progress to be made and seriously hampered some projects. A winter road was provided from McBride to Crescent Spur. Due to weather conditions, usable season was short. Construction.—Day-labour projects were again on a large scale, with concentration on the John Hart Highway. A 28-mile section from the Parsnip Bridge north to the district boundary was reditched and gravel reinforced in preparation for paving. Between Prince George and Giscome a 1 -mile section was reconstructed, while additional gravelling was carried out over an 8-mile section for pulvimixing. Other smaller projects of improvements on the Hoffercamp Road and Highway No. 16 east of McBride were carried out. Snow Removal.—Increasing demands and ice conditions left little slack time in this operation. Bridges Bridge work consisted mostly of maintenance, with renewal of several small log spans. A 100-foot Howe truss in the Fraser River Bridge at McBride was removed by blasting and replaced with Bailey bridging. Ferries Isle Pierre ferry ran the full year, with traffic much the same as previous years. Hansard ferry had a long summer season, with very heavy traffic. It was necessary to provide additional help to manage the week-end traffic. North Peace River District Roads Spring break-up was not severe. Restrictions were placed on all roads except the Alaska Highway and Hudson Hope Road. The summer season was dry to start with, but late summer and fall were wet. Clearing was completed on a 4-mile section of proposed road to the new lookout-site at Portage Mountain dam-site. Winter snowfall was very heavy. Much drifting occurred due to high winds. Chinooks around the Christmas season created severe icing conditions and caused the blocking of practically all culverts by freezing. Bridges Fort Nelson River Bridge was retracted before spring run-off. During run-off, driftwood and ice damaged the piers. Repairs were made and the bridge replaced for summer use. REGIONAL REPORTS C 97 Omineca (East) District Roads Maintenance.—Normal maintenance was carried out on all district roads throughout the year. Considerable mileage of side-road was up-graded by minor reconstruction, ditching, and gravelling. Shale surfacing was applied to 5.5 miles of the Vanderhoof-Stuart Lake Road, and 2 miles were oiled, as dust control. Construction.—The first 6 miles of the Vanderhoof-Stuart Lake Road and 2 miles of the Loop Road were prepared for pulvimix by the application of pit-run and crushed gravel. Six miles of the Fort St. James-Germansen Landing Road were brushed, ditched, and regravelled. Snow Removal.—Snowfall was below average and temperatures generally mild, with thaws occurring in January and February. Requirement for sanding was heavy. Bridges Normal maintenance was carried out on all district bridges. Reconstruction of the Nation River Bridge was completed. Work commenced on a new bridge over the Necoslie River at Fort St. James and was in progress at year-end. Major repairs were required on three King truss bridges on the Fort St. James-Germansen Landing Road. Omineca (West) District Roads Maintenance.-—A good spring break-up was experienced generally throughout the district. Normal maintenance was carried out on all roads. Forty miles of chemical brush control along the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway, No. 16, proved successful. Patching, minor realignment, and sign maintenance were undertaken on a routine basis. Reconstruction.—Two sections of the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway, No. 16, Tintagel to Tibbett Creek and Houston east, totalling 7.4 miles, were reconstructed and readied for crushed gravel. One mile of the Timothy Hill section of Woodmere Road, No. 130, was reconstructed, and further extensive repairs were carried out on Colleymount Road, No. 21. Snow Removal.—An average snowfall was experienced throughout the district, but the mild winter increased the demand for sanding operations. Snow-ploughing was hampered on most side-roads due to a lack of frost along the ditch-lines. Bridges Flood.—As a result of heavy rainfall during the period June 25 to 28, 1962, severe flash flooding occurred in the Burns Lake, Colleymount, and Houston areas of the district. Five minor bridges were washed out and another badly damaged. Eleven major culverts were also washed out. An extensive rebulding programme was undertaken by district forces, and all devastation was cleaned up by this spring. Day Lake Bridge, No. 20, and Mortimer Bridge, No. 472, were reconstructed. Buck River No. 2, No. 513, and Nourse, No. 476, and Taltapin, No. 75, Bridges had to be reconstructed as a result of the flood on June 28, 1962. Goat Creek, No. 5, and Houston, No. 35, Bridges received minor repairs. Necessary minor maintenance was carried out to all bridges in the district. C 98 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 Ferries M.V. " Jacob Henkel " on Francois Lake was able to operate all winter due to mild weather. Service was suspended for repairs 2V_. weeks in the spring for engine overhaul and general refit. General repairs were carried out to the docks. The Southbank approach trestle was eliminated and replaced with a rock-and-gravel core causeway. Buildings The Burns Lake garage, equipment-shed, dry-shed, and oil-shed all received exterior painting. The three ferry homes and affiliated buildings at Southbank were all repainted. Extensive repairs were carried out to the roof of the Houston garage. A new iron shed was completed in the Burns Lake yard. Prince Rupert District Roads Maintenance.—With the exception of 10 miles of old pavement, no difficulty was experienced in maintaining the roads in the Prince Rupert and Queen Charlotte areas. Outlying settlements all received attention as required. On the Queen Charlotte City-Masset Road, 4 miles were widened and regravelled and an additional 5.5 miles were regravelled only. Construction.—On Project No. 1254, Watun River, on the Queen Charlotte City-Masset Road, 1 mile of the south approach to the Watun River Crossing was completed, grades being reduced in places from 18 per cent to 7 per cent. Clearing and laying of corduroy was completed in the previous year. On Project No. 1254, riprap, Skeena River, Northern Trans-Provincial Highway, repairs to the road shoulder between Mile 24 and Mile 28 were effected by the placing of riprap. Snow Removal.—Due to a mild winter and a light snowfall, no difficulties were experienced in snow-removal operations. Icing conditions were kept under control by the use of chemicals and of sand. Bridges Routine maintenance was carried out on all bridges. Two bridges were rebuilt. Some channel work and bridge protection with riprap was undertaken. Buildings and Yards The road foreman's residence at Port Clements was completed. In Prince Rupert, aluminum roofing was placed on the warehouse and on the mechanical foreman's residence. All buildings in the yard received new exterior paint. The yard-sites were rearranged and a clean-up programme undertaken. Skeena (East) District General maintenance, including grading of gravel roads, culvert installation, and minor ditching was carried out on the district roads. A major day-labour project was undertaken on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway over a distance of 7 miles easterly from New Hazelton, which eliminated the very dangerous Mud Creek Hill on the old road. This was completed, except for final crushed-gravel surfacing. Clearing of right-of-way, improvements to line and grade, ditching, and gravelling were carried out on the Kispiox Road. On the Babine Lake Road two bridges were replaced by large culverts and fills. L C 100 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1962/63 Four miles of new road were constructed and 4 miles reconstructed to connect Kitwanga to Woodcock and four bridges were built on this route. A new storage shed was constructed at Smithers. It was an average winter snowfall, with no special problems in snow- ploughing. Icing conditions were severe at times. However, the improvement in ice-control services was maintained. Skeena (West) District Roads Maintenance.—District roads were maintained in good condition all year. A late severe winter resulted in a late spring break-up. Restrictions were applied March 16, 1962, and rescinded May 6, 1962. Extensive repairs to erosion, washouts, and frost boils were necessary. The summer was relatively dry and all gravel roads received extensive gravel maintenance and improvement. Two massive landslides occurred on the Terrace-Kitimat Highway in May and June. District forces were hard put to assist in the provision and maintenance of necessary detours. A number of smaller day-labour projects were undertaken by district forces on the Beam Station Road, Dutch Valley Road, and Terrace Arterial Highway. Construction.—A large day-labour project on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway was undertaken by district forces. Eight miles of heavily timbered right- of-way were cleared and grubbed. Bridges Two of the major Howe truss type of bridges were redecked. Several bridges were repainted. Brushing and clearing occurred underneath and at the approaches of all bridges. Ferries Ferries provided satisfactory service all year, with the exception of the months of January and February due to bad ice conditions. South Peace River District Roads Maintenance.—Routine maintenance was carried out on all district roads. A total of 28.5 miles of side-roads was cleared and graded, and culverts installed. An extensive programme of weed and brush control was carried out on trunk highways in particular. Construction.—A 10-mile section of the John Hart Highway from Mile 128 to Mile 138 was reconstructed, including widening, drainage improvements, and the application of base gravel in preparation for paving. Reconstruction of a 15.5-mile section of the John Hart Highway from Mile 186.5 to Mile 202.0 was completed, including widening, drainage improvements, and the application of base gravel. The section from Mile 190.5 to Mile 202.0 has since been paved under work carried out by the Paving Branch. The right-of-way was cleared on a 10-mile section of the access road to One Island Lake. A total of 20 miles of farm and settlement roads and school-bus routes was gravelled. REGIONAL REPORTS C 101 Snow Removal.—The major part of the district experienced the heaviest snowfall since 1917. Chinooks during the months settied the snow, which helped prevent serious drifting conditions in the flat farming areas. However, alternate freezing and thawing temperatures resulted in literally hundreds of blocked culverts. As a result, during spring run-off there were many washouts and extensive damage resulted to roads. Bridges Routine maintenance was carried out on most bridges in the district. Major repairs were made to the floor systems on Landry Bridge, No. 53, and Wabi Bridge, No. 11. Damaged portal bracing and sway bracing were replaced on the West Pine Bridge, No. 12. Riley Bridge, No. 84, formerly a King truss, was replaced by a glulam stringer span. A new triple-single Bailey bridge was constructed over the Pine River immediately down-stream from the confluence of the Sukunka and Pine Rivers. Ferries Other than short suspensions in service for repairs, the operation of the Clay- hurst ferry was normal. The Twidwell Bend ferry was in operation for the season but has since been replaced by a bridge.
