Miard, Deputy Minister of Highways, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—Submitted herewith are the Highway and Bridge Construction Reports for the fiscal year 1961/62, as well as a resume of the work carried out by the Design and Planning Branch, which includes Location, Records and Estimates, Soils and Materials, and Traffic. While a report covering the activities of the Special Projects Engineer has not been included, he has been most active with his many tasks, particularly in his liaison work between the Department and its various consultants. To very briefly recap the activities of the various branches with regard to mileage covered, may I note that the total length of roads constructed or reconstructed by contract was 124.94 miles. Of this total, 25.36 miles were included in the Trans-Canada Highway. An extensive paving programme was carried out during the year, resulting in the laying of 221.58 miles of bituminous plant mix, while 226.36 miles of road mix and pulvimix were laid. Construction of thirty-seven bridges was completed, while work proceeded on forty-two others. Sixteen of the completed bridges and twenty-nine of the uncompleted are on the Trans-Canada Highway. Final highway-location surveys during the year totalled 233.83 miles. The amount of office design completed, together with estimates, totalled 188.56 miles, which included 5.37 miles of urban street design. F. T. Brown, Chief Engineer. 11 J 12 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER Victoria, B.C., October 15, 1962. Mr. H. T. Miard, Deputy Minister of Highways, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I herewith submit district reports for the fiscal year 1961/62. There are 23,042 miles of highways under supervision of this Department, and this mileage comprises 3,849 miles of trunk highways, 1,484 miles of main highways, and 17,709 miles of other roads. Total mileage of classified highways (arterial and secondary) is 725. The expenditure on maintenance of highways, bridges, and ferries amounted to $17,279,110. The cost of snow-removal, which is included in the above amount, was $2,151,730, there being 19,337 miles of road kept open during the winter months. There were fifty-two ferries operating under the supervision of the Department. The number of vehicles carried was 1,933,426, and the number of passengers, including drivers, was 4,917,578. The total mileage of road constructed or reconstructed by day-labour was 186.27. Improvements or minor betterments were made to 523 miles. Right-of-way negotiations resulted in a total of 1,031 settlements, amounting to $4,565,465. During the calendar year 1961 there were 2,600 subdivisions handled by the Department, of which 325 were adjacent to controlled access highways. There were issued 327 permits for entrances on controlled access highways and 684 permits for entrances on non-controlled access highways. Other permits issued for other works on Crown lands amounted to 2,085. F. A. MacLean, Assistant Deputy Minister. REPORT OF THE SENIOR BRIDGE ENGINEER J 13 REPORT OF THE SENIOR BRIDGE ENGINEER Indicative of the continuing activity of the Department's Bridge Branch during this year was the completion of construction of thirty-seven bridges, two snow-sheds, and three ferry-landings, and the fact that a further forty-two bridges and a ferry- landing were in course of construction at the conclusion of the period. Sixteen of the completed structures and the two snow-sheds are on the Trans-Canada Highway, while twenty-nine of the bridges under construction are also on this highway. Detailed information of the completed structures and of those under construction are appended, while the Statement of Expenditure shows that the total gross expenditure thereon amounted to approximately $19,750,000. This compares with an expenditure of approximately $20,150,000 in the previous year, indicating substantially the same volume of construction was performed. The year was notable for the completion of seven major structures (Columbia River Bridge at Revelstoke, Trail Bridge, Overlanders Bridge at Kamloops, Chil- cotin Bridge over the Fraser River near Williams Lake, Elk River Bridge on the Elko-Roosville Highway, Vedder Canal Bridge, and Quesnel River Bridge) and for the steady progress made in the construction of nine other major structures (three crossings of the Fraser River at Port Mann, Alexandra, and near Prince George, Kootenay River near Creston, South Thompson River at Spences Bridge, Columbia River at Donald, Paulson Bridge on the Christina Lake-Kinnaird section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, and the new Sicamous Narrows Bridge). The foundation difficulties on the Fraser River Bridge at Port Mann having been overcome, work on this huge structure continued expeditiously during the review period, and present forecasts are for completion of this truly notable structure during 1963. Two ferry-landings were completed at Darrell Bay and Woodfibre, thus permitting this important ferry service to be brought up to modern standards, while the much-needed landing at Texada Island was also completed. In the Rogers Pass section of the Trans-Canada Highway, the Department completed two more snow-sheds—Jack MacDonald (462 feet long) and Twins (616 feet long). A general review of the year's activity shows not only continued effort toward completion of the structures required for the Trans-Canada Highway, but also substantial work done on structures for the Deas Tunnel Throughway, the Creston- Salmo and Christina Lake-Kinnaird sections of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, and on other important, if isolated, projects throughout the Province. At the end of the year our advance planning was becoming more oriented toward the structures needed on highways other than the Trans-Canada Highway—for example, Northern Trans-Provincial Highway, Stewart-Cassiar Highway, Kootenay-Colum- bia Highway, North Thompson Highway, etc. The heavy bridge design and construction programme continues to necessitate the retention of consulting engineering firms to supplement the output of the Department's own designing and construction staff. Throughout the year the construction industry exhibited strong competitive tendencies in bidding on bridge projects, and there was at no time any lack of supply of materials of construction. Prestressed concrete continued to show itself competitive with the rival media of steel and reinforced concrete in the construction of short and medium-span structures. The production of light-weight concrete aggregates in the Province has provided an opportunity to effect economies in the construction of long-span structures, and the Department is investigating aluminum for structural purposes, as well as the many other materials and techniques constantly being developed by industry. J 14 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 Weather conditions were again favourable during this period for construction operations, and it may be mentioned that two important projects were continued to completion through the severe winter of 1961/62. Although successfully carried out, such winter operations prove very expensive. Over and above the construction of new permanent structures, the Department is responsible for the maintenance of the great number of temporary or semipermanent bridges located mostly on the secondary highways of the Province, and the efforts of the Department's regional and district forces, who shoulder this responsibility, cannot be too highly commended. The past year called for no less effort in this regard than previous years and served to point up the continuing demand for modern permanent bridges to maintain the Province's highway system. Apart from measures for the maintenance of existing structures, the Department was not called upon to carry out further installations for the British Columbia Toll Highways and Bridges Authority during this period. Elk River Bridge on the Elko-Roosville Highway, 10 miles south of Elko. Length, 525 feet; width of roadway, 26 feet.

Of these mileages, a total of 25 miles was completed on the Trans-Canada Highway (11 miles being four lanes). The mileage of work done was approximately equal to that completed during each of the past two years, although the mileage completed on the Trans-Canada Highway is down because this highway is nearing completion. Grading excavation for all highways was 17,447,780 cubic yards of solid rock and other materials. The excavation has decreased from the amounts moved during the past two years because of greater concentration of work in the Lower Fraser Valley, where grading is comparatively less in relation to other work required, and because several contracts for clearing and grubbing only were awarded. As with last year, priority was given to the new routes of the Trans-Canada Highway (No. 1), the Deas Tunnel Throughway (No. 99), the Southern Trans- Provincial Highway (No. 3), and the Stewart-Cassiar Highway, but important work is also being carried out on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway (No. 16), the Island Highway (No. 19), and other highways. Trans-Canada Highway.—All multi-lane sections are now in progress or completed, West Vancouver to Rosedale. Substandard sections are being brought up to standard or proposed to be reconstructed as soon as possible. In progress are the sections Nanaimo to Departure Bay Ferry, Hedstrom Hill to Hope, Yale to Bell Crossing, and Park Bridge to Yoho Park. Soon to be awarded are Alexandra North and China Bar to Hells Gate, totalling 4.71 miles. Between Yale and Boston Bar, four two-lane tunnels have been completed to date, one just started, and two proposed. China Bar Tunnel, 2,000 feet long, will be ready to open shortly, complete with generating plant, exhaust fans, and carbon monoxide detection equipment. The 6.06 miles of multi-lane section from Abbotsford to the Vedder River has been held up by construction of an overhead bridge at Riverside Road, but road construction and paving have been completed for some time, and the new route will be opened soon. ' j Deas Tunnel Throughway.—All road and paving contracts have been awarded, and this multi-lane highway will be ready to open early in 1962 by using a temporary level crossing over the Great Northern Railway, protected by automatic signals. An overhead bridge will be constructed as soon as possible, having been delayed by difficult ground conditions. Southern Trans-Provincial Highway.—The new Christina Lake-Kinnaird section has been opened for light traffic by use of a 4-mile detour at the site of Paulson Bridge. The bridge is expected to be completed in the late fall of 1962, but in the meantime the detour will be widened to handle all traffic. The 18-mile cut-off from Sheep Lake to Rossland is well under way, 5 miles having been completed and 6 miles being cleared and grubbed. The Salmo-Creston section, 42 miles, is 79 per cent completed. Stewart-Cassiar Highway.—Progress continues to be fair, although limited by having access only from the two ends of the new route. Twenty-nine miles were constructed this year, and 94 miles have been constructed to date since 1957. The total to be completed, of the new route south of Dease Lake, is 163 miles (including 89 miles not yet awarded). Northern Trans-Provincial Highway.—On the new route east of Prince George, Tabor Lake to Lamming Mills, most of the work this year has been confined to REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF CONSTRUCTION J 27 clearing and grubbing preparatory to later construction. Two clearing contracts totalling 30 miles are almost complete, and 9 miles were previously done by day- labour. Eighteen miles of construction are complete to date, and a gap of 49 miles west of Dome Creek has yet to be started. Island Highway.—Two contracts totalling 31 miles have been started, and cover the entire distance from Bloedel to Sayward. During the fiscal year, quantities in road construction contracts were as follows:— Solid rock 1 cu. yd. Other materials cu. yd. Clearing and grubbing ac. Large culverts and cattle-passes (structural-steel plate) lin. ft. Other culverts (all types), 10 to 72 inches in diameter__lin. ft. Concrete for retaining-walls and drainage structures __xu. yd.

W. Kerr, Paving Engineer) As a result of favourable weather conditions, almost all paving which was planned for completion during 1961 was satisfactorily completed. In compliance with the Government's fiscal policy, a number of paving contracts were called late in the season, with the results that these contracts were carried over until the following fiscal year for completion. This has proven a very satisfactory arrangement. The contractor is able to get on with the work earlier in the season, and inspection staffs who have been employed at various other tasks during the winter are placed on contract work earlier than would be the case if calls were made at start of the next fiscal year. In-service Training The same policy of in-service training has been carried out, with subsequent technical proficiency examinations. This training, and examinations, has made our task much easier in assessing the potential of the inspection staff. Base Construction and Hot-mix Asphalt Paving Further base stabilization over old pavements was carried out as an integral part of paving contracts. The over-all length of asphaltic concrete paving completed during 1961 was somewhat lower than the previous year, there being approximately 222.6 miles, including 6.6 miles of four-lane highway and interchanges. There was less paving carried out on the Trans-Canada Highway than during the past year. However, a heavier Trans-Canada Highway paving programme is expected in 1962. Paving work commenced on the Deas Tunnel Throughway in March, 1962, although progress was hampered by adverse weather. Soil Cement Stabilization Some 20 miles of soil cement stabilization were completed on the Cariboo Highway this season, and 1.47 miles of cement-treated base were constructed on the four lanes of the Deas Tunnel Throughway. The contractors have become more proficient in this work, which has resulted in much lower unit prices. Unfortunately the cost of cement is such that where granular materials are plentiful and our sub- grades of sufficient width, the application of additional thickness of granular materials is by far the most economical method of construction to obtain extra pavement strength. Surface Treatments Approximately 115 miles of chip seal surface treatment were completed during 1962, mainly on the Trans-Canada Highway and North Thompson Highway. Department forces carried out 21 miles of sand seal-coat work and 6 miles of chip seal. The work was carried out in areas where it would not have been economical or convenient to call for tenders. Departmental Pulvimixers Approximately 98 miles of pulvimixing were completed by Departmental pulvi- mixing crews in addition to the sand seal-coat and chip seal-coat work. — REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF CONSTRUCTION J 33 Because of favourable weather conditions in the northern portion of the Province, all work which had been undertaken was completed and the quality of work much better. A 7-mile section between the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway and Hazelton was gravelled and pulvimixed, a job we had endeavoured without success to carry out for the past several years. Storm Drainage and Curb and Gutter Work Two more blocks of East Hastings Street were widened and repaved, and curb and gutter, storm drains, and repaving were carried out under Project No. 1132, North Kamloops By-pass.

Ninety-one miles of this photography was used to analyse the route between Prince Rupert and Terrace on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway in order to ensure that replacement of forty-two bridges would be positioned to fit the ultimate relocation of the highway. The two remaining line miles of photography will be utilized in obtaining precise large-scale mapping between the Lions Gate Bridge and the Trans-Canada Highway in West Vancouver. Previously obtained low-level photograph and mapping have been utilized to complete preliminary layouts and reports on the following projects: (1) No. 5 Road (Lulu Island), (2) Cache Creek Junction (junction of Highway No. 1 and Highway No. 2), (3) Shaughnessy Street and Lougheed Highway Junction. Existing B.C. Government photography has been utilized to complete reconnaissance mapping between Tete Jaune Cache and the Alberta Boundary on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway. Preliminary reports were completed on Nanaimo arterials on the Trans-Canada Highway, and layout drawings made for the junction of Patricia Bay Highway and McTavish Road. Utilizing previously obtained mapping, work has been progressing and preliminary layout plans are nearing completion for the following projects: (1) Victoria- Thetis Lake Overhead, four lanes (Trans-Canada Highway); (2) C.N.R. Overpass- Telegraph Road, four lanes (Patricia Bay Highway); (3) junction of Highways No. 1 and No. 17 (Trans-Canada Highway and Patricia Bay Highway); (4) North Road-Pitt River, four lanes (Lougheed Highway); (5) Penticton By-pass, four lanes (Okanagan Highway); (6) final design and contract drawings nearing completion on Roebuck Interchange (Trans-Canada Highway). Projects in hand in various stages of completion include: (1) Coquitlam River-Pitt River, four lanes (Lougheed Alternate); (2) Scott Road, four lanes (Surrey); (3) Surrey Perimiter Highway, four lanes (Surrey); (4) Lions Gate Bridge-Trans-Canada Highway, four lanes (West Vancouver); (5) Abbotsford- Mission, four lanes (Highway No. 11); (6) Pitt River-Stave River, four lanes (Lougheed Highway); (7) Stave River-Mission, four lanes (Lougheed Highway). Computer Section In late 1961 a Computer Section was set up. Washington State's highway- design computer programmes were obtained and adapted to B.C. design standards. J 44 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 Programmes that have been successfully used include: — (a) D.T.M. II, which is used in the preliminary survey stage, and calculates approximate quantities involved in alternative highway alignments. (b) Earthwork IV, which calculates precise quantities for the alignment finally agreed upon, using various auxiliary programmes to produce mass haul curves, profiles, and plan plots. (c) Surmap 02N, which is used to check field traverses, adjusting them where necessary. Work on further programmes is continuing.

Brawner, Senior Materials Engineer) The Testing Branch has continued to provide information, advice, and research on all the phases of highway location, designs, construction, and maintenance during the past year. The following gives a summary of the activities of the Branch during 1961/62. Bridge Foundations Foundation studies are carried out for all new bridges. This year drilling investigations were made for forty-one bridges. Final reports were prepared for thirty-one bridges; preliminary data were obtained for eleven more. Difficult foundation conditions caused by deep deposits of soft unstable soils required some degree of construction control measures to be taken at twenty-six bridges, and additional information, extra drilling, rock inspections, etc., at seventeen sites. A portable barge, designed by the Branch, has been used wherever drilling over water has been done. This has been proved successful and economical. Some of the sites investigated were Nicomekl River Bridge, Campbell River Underpass, Nimpkish River Bridge, Stikine River Bridge, Fraser River Bridge at McBride, and Peace River Bridge at Hudson Hope. Soil Surveys It is the ultimate aim to obtain detailed soils information on all new highway projects before designs are completed and let to tender. This year it has been possible to do this to a greater extent than previously. Such information enables problems to be foreseen and remedies designed so that accurate cost estimates can be drawn. During the year, reports were drawn up for twenty-nine sections of proposed new highways, some of which are projects presently under construction, others being preliminary locations under design. These investigations are mainly carried out by the Regional Materials Engineers using auger-drilling equipment, but some required a more detailed sub-surface investigation using diamond-drilling equipment. Landslides Slide activity in the Province this year has been less than previously. At Dry- noch Slide, excavation of drainage-ditches and the provision of flat graded back- slopes plus horizontal drains appears to have stopped movement in the vicinity of the new highway grade, although movement higher up the slide continues at a slow rate. Observations of movement and water-pressure are still being carried out. -J— = ■" ■ ;; ■■■rr- ;i---.:-V:-.^7 'BJ :.".■"'■'/ ! : ■■■■■■■■.■ ■'.'.:: J 48 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 Several slides exist on the Alaska Highway between Dawson Creek and Fort St. John. Most have been remedied for the time being, but many will require treatment in the future. Nine other slides of minor extent were investigated during the year. Other Problems About thirty other problems involving soils or other construction materials were investigated. These problems include lightweight-concrete deterioration on bridge decks, scour investigations at several bridge-sites, piezometer and slope indicator installations to check bridge-abutment movement, retaining-wall designs, construction over peat, flooding due to high ground-water, sub-surface investigations for two new highway maintenance garages, etc. Pavement Design The Benkelman beam has been used extensively both for pavement designs and for evaluation purposes. A pavement inventory has been established covering 3,000 miles of paved highway. This is divided into 1,347 sections of equal age, on uniform soils and having uniform riding characteristics. Benkelman beam testing has been carried out on 640 of these sections. In addition, weekly testing has been performed on 135 spring-control sections. This was done in the spring of 1962 to guide the timing and degree of spring load restrictions. Base thickness designs have been prepared on 273 miles of two-lane pavement and 18 miles of four-lane highway, using the Benkelman beam deflections. Paint-testing The Paint Testing Section has carried out many investigations, among which are testing of traffic paints, licence-plate enamels, tree-marking paints, suitable paints for concrete, coatings for rusty steel surfaces, paints and pre-treatments for galvanized highway signs, anti-corrosive and anti-fouling marine paints. The field performance and inspection of bridge paints and traffic paints supplied to the Department have also been an important part of this work, ensuring that such materials are supplied to Department specification. One such investigation was the testing of a zinc-rich paint for the Trail Bridge. Miscellaneous Investigations The following problems were also investigated: Night visibility of reflectorized highway signs; field performance of different types of road reflectors such as " cat's eyes "; laboratory testing of glass beads for use in reflectorized paints; anti-skid materials for aluminum overpass structures; resurfacing requirements for the Lions Gate Bridge, comprising a study of the skid resistance and accident frequency of the present bridge. A study was made on the rheological properties of culvert asphalts in an attempt to set out a satisfactory set of specifications. The problem of culvert corrosion initiated a study of the possibilities of using cathodic protection, and several soil resistivity surveys were made in connection with this. Materials-testing In the Vancouver region a considerable effort is being made to inspect at source all materials being supplied to the Department. These include paints, timber piles, precast concrete products, pumped sand supplied as fill on the Deas Tunnel Freeway, and many other products. This has involved a close examination of the Depart- REPORT OF DESIGN AND PLANNING ENGINEER J 49 ment's specifications for these materials to ensure they are up to date and provide the Department with the desired quality of product. Concrete The practice of providing economical design mixes has been continued, and the concrete laboratory has supplied this service for almost all jobs where concrete is being used. Test cylinders from concrete pours are now being tested in each region, thus reducing transportation costs and saving time. Prospecting for Gravel The location of suitable sources of gravel remains an extremely important part of the work of the Branch. Specific requests from districts and construction projects to prove up existing pits or to seek new ones are numerous and consume much of the time of the regional soils personnel. In addition, gravel surveys are being made, using aerial photographic methods, which locate possible sources of gravel, later to be proved by drilling. This latter activity is growing in importance as highways are located in remote areas and in areas where existing sources are either used up or are privately owned. One hundred and thirty-eight gravel pits were investigated during the year. TRAFFIC BRANCH (J. H. Harding, Senior Traffic Engineer) Traffic counts taken on Provincial highways during 1961 indicated that traffic increased over 1960 volumes in the Fraser Valley, but remained virtually the same on Vancouver Island and in the Interior of the Province. The number of points at which traffic counts are taken was increased to cover new highways and provide more information on existing highways. During the year seven permanent counters were placed in service at points throughout the Province. These counters will provide year-round information to supplement the summer volume data presently being recorded. A programme of installation of distance signs near highway junctions and outside built-up areas was completed, and work was started on installation of distance signs on major highways at maximum intervals of 20 miles in the southern part of the Province and 40 miles in the northern part. Some 320 of these signs have been erected to date. Checking and revision of advisory speed signs on all major highways in the Province was completed in 1961. A revised list of standard highway signs, in accordance with the Canadian Standards, was compiled preparatory to preparation of a new B.C. sign manual. Freeway directional signing was installed on the Abbotsford By-pass section of the Trans-Canada Highway. A growing problem is the provision of services signs on multi-lane divided highways to assist motorists and the owners of by-passed businesses and, at the same time, retain the good appearance and efficiency of these new highways. Many speed zones were studied, and, where necessary, radar speed checks were taken. As a result of these studies, a number of speed zones were altered. The mileage of highway in the Province zoned for 60 miles per hour was again increased during the past year. A study was completed of the levels of pedestrian and vehicular traffic at which crosswalks with signs are warranted. The findings made in this study have been adopted as Departmental policy. More intersections were illuminated during the year, and considerable work continued on the planning of freeway lighting. Considerable work was done in co- J 50 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 operation with the Department of Public Works on the lighting of the China Bar Tunnel, culminating with installation of the lighting in the spring of 1962. Financial assistance was extended to a number of municipalities, in accordance with the Department's policy of sharing the cost of illumination of arterial highways in organized areas. An inventory of the adequacy of main highways throughout the Province was completed during the year. The information obtained from this study will be combined with the pavement-evaluation studies done by the Materials Engineer. Numerous intersection problems were investigated, and improvements, such as signing, pavement-marking, channelization, and signals, were installed at a number of intersections. Equipment was altered or new equipment installed at some signalized intersections to accommodate changing traffic patterns and increased traffic flow. Almost all level crossings of major highways and railways regulated by the Board of Transport Commissioners which are not scheduled to be over-passed in the near future are now protected by automatic signals. During the year, through the combined efforts of the railways, the Board of Transport Commissioners, and the Department, signals were installed at a number of crossings on roads of lesser importance. The Senior Traffic Engineer continued to represent the Department on the British Columbia Safety Council, the Capital Region Planning Board, and on the Canadian Good Roads Association Joint Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. E. B. Wilkins, Design and Planning Engineer. REPORT OF THE CHIEF RIGHT-OF-WAY AGENT Right-of-way negotiations for the 1961/62 fiscal year resulted in a total of 1,031 settlements being processed. One claim was referred to arbitration proceedings for adjudication. The costs of rights-of-way and of all other properties acquired by the Department totalled $4,565,464.85. The foregoing includes holdings purchased on behalf of the British Columbia Toll Highways and Bridges Authority. Sales by public tender and by public auction of lands acquired surplus to highway requirements and of buildings to be cleared from rights-of-way totalled fifty- three, with a recovery in funds in the amount of $81,341.69. Revenue from rentals prior to the disposal of lands and buildings, including also that from properties currently held for future construction projects, grossed $65,771.93. The number of dwellings and parcels of land under short-term lease or rental totalled 125. The legal surveys programme is now 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 J 51 REPORT OF THE SERVICES ENGINEER EQUIPMENT During the year the net total of $4,106,609.42 was expended to cover the cost of labour, repairs, fuel, and garage overhead required to operate equipment owned by the Government and used by the Department of Highways. The sum of $2,249,422.85 was expended on the purchase of new equipment, as follows: 19 power-graders, 3 self-propelled scrapers, 4 tractors, 28 tractor loaders, 12 tractor mowers, 1 gradall, 1 screening plant, 3 road rollers, 1 pull- grader, 3 35-ton semi-trailers, 3 caboose trailers, 2 compressors, 18 sand bodies, 1 Pacific snow-plough, 87 4-ton dump-trucks, 29 3-ton dump-trucks, 2 centre-line marking trucks, 4 tractor trailer trucks, 42 Vi-ton light delivery trucks, 16 Vi-ton panel trucks, 10 %-ton panel trucks, 33 sundry vehicles, and sundry small equipment, such as vibrating tampers, snow-ploughs, garage equipment, etc. SIGN-SHOP From the period April 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962, a total of 26,466 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 13,643 delineators (3 by 8 inches) was produced. A total of 76,950 square feet of Scotchlite was purchased and applied during the same period. The net expenditure of $140,850.28 was incurred in the production of these signs. GRAVEL-CRUSHING Six Departmental crushers were operated in forty-four different locations to produce approximately 1,500,000 tons of crushed gravel. MIXING PLANTS Two Departmental mixing plants operated in thirty-three different locations, producing 43,716 cubic yards of asphalt patching material. FERRIES (H. K. Gann, Superintendent of Ferries) The 1961/62 fiscal year saw many changes in the ferry fleet of the Department of Highways. Several new replacement ferries were built, and several new ferry services were brought under Departmental jurisdiction. The Gulf Islands and Salt- spring Island ferry services were transferred to the British Columbia Toll Authority along with the former Ladner ferry M.V. " Delta Princess." The final count showed a total of fifty-two ferries operated under the jurisdiction of this Department. These were as follows: Twelve Government-owned major ferries, thirteen Government- owned power-cable ferries, sixteen Government-owned reaction ferries, four Government-owned miscellaneous ferries, and seven privately owned subsidized ferries. Traffic The ferry system carried a total of 1,932,344 vehicles and 4,916,496 passengers, which represented an increase of 73,012 vehicles and 23,253 passengers over the preceding year. This increase was far below the normal annual increase. The Castlegar crossing was again responsible for the greatest volume of traffic carried during this period—842,778 vehicles and 1,898,104 passengers were carried by the two ferries. j 52 highways report, 1961/62 Maintenance All ferries were inspected and repairs carried out as required. The following vessels were dry-docked for steamship inspection and annual overhaul: M.V. "Anscomb," M.V. " Balfour," M.V. " T'Lagunna," M.V. " Rolf Bruhn," M.V. "Catherine Graham," M.V. "Garibaldi," M.V. "Quadra Queen," and M.V. " Eena." New Construction and Major Repairs The Albion ferry M.V. " T'Lagunna " was taken into the John Manly Shipyard, where the old wood deck, bulwarks, and superstructure were removed. A new and wider steel deck was installed, with new steel superstructure of modern design. This vessel is now very functional as well as pleasing to the eye. A new centre engine and steering system were installed in the Kootenay Lake ferry M.V. " Balfour." This extra power and steerage enable the vessel to operate during heavy weather in the winter months. The former Woodfibre ferry M.V. " Rolf Bruhn " has been overhauled and modified for use as a relief ferry. It has been used at several sites while the regular ferry was undergoing repairs. A new ten-car steel ferry with all new machinery was built and installed at Harrop to replace the former ferry, which had become inadequate. A new 50-ton steel barge ferry with towers and overhead cable was built and installed at Hudson Hope. Service is expected to commence in June, 1962. This will replace the former passenger-launch service. Due to damage caused by a flash flood in the Fraser River, it was necessary to completely rebuild the Big Bar ferry and partially rebuild the Macalister ferry. Two of the damaged pontoons were salvaged and shipped to Vancouver for repairs. A temporary cable ferry was installed adjacent to the Hudson Hope dam-site to transport heavy road-building machinery across the Peace River. General A new privately owned subsidized passenger-launch ferry service was authorized between Lasqueti Island and French Creek. The Gabriola Island ferry M.V. " Eena," formerly owned by the Davis Shipping Company at Nanaimo, was purchased by the Government. The vessel continued operating to Gabriola Island, but the schedule was increased considerably.

F. Conlan, Superintendent of Communications) During the year, communication facilities were extended to cover Vancouver Island and the Pender Harbour-Powell River area. Installations were completed on the Rogers Pass radio system and placed in full operation for familiarization purposes prior to the highway opening. This system provides coverage to the National parks and police as well as to ourselves. Communication facilities were extended west from Williams Lake to the Alexis Creek-Anahim Lake area. The McBride area was also covered by a base station. Some 110 mobile units were added to the network. INSURANCE AND SAFETY (J. A.

Premiums Paid for Insurance Placed during 1961/62 Department of Highways $20,040.85 British Columbia Toll Highways and Bridges Authority 116,989.27 All other departments 11,350.24 Total $148,380.36 Workmen's Compensation Board Claims and Payments Workmen's Compensation payments to Highways personnel are as follows:- For 1961 calendar year $166,026.85! Payment of claims which originated in 1961 101,849.79 i Includes ten permanent partial disability and two fatal accidents, $70,942.46. The pressure of increased work resulting from the British Columbia Toll Authority Ferry Service claims, as well as many other types of claims, has precluded carrying out safety promotion in the field. However, a small headquarters committee was formed and was responsible for instructions being issued to supervisory personnel in the field to ensure that local safety committees were functioning in all districts. The response, by way of minutes of meetings of the local safety committees, has been satisfactory in the main. The headquarters committee also approved a design for a notice-board to be erected in each Department of Highways yard, whereon a record is kept of the number of accident-free days for each division of forces; that is, shop, bridge, operators, etc. J 58 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 Workmen's Compensation Board The figures for Workmen's Compensation Board payments show a substantial increase over the previous year. The increase is accounted for largely because of reserves set up for two fatal accidents and three permanent disability accidents. One of the fatal accidents occurred in October, 1960, for which a reserve was set up in the Workmen's Compensation Board reporting year 1961, amounting to $17,681.63. The other fatal accident occurred in October, 1961, for which the reserve set up totalled $17,958.07. The three permanent partial disability claims had reserves set up of $29,877.52. One of these occurred in 1959, one in 1960, and one in 1961. These reserves were reflected in the 1961 tabulation of the Board, released to us early in 1962. If the total as above is adjusted by appropriate subtractions, the amount shown for claims for the reporting year is substantially reduced, and reflects a much better picture of the accident rate, claims wise. Sixteen meetings of the Interdepartmental Safety Committee were held, and we again wish to extend our thanks and appreciation for the co-operation of the members. F. A. MacLean, Services Engineer. REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL OFFICER ORGANIZATION On August 10, 1961, the Deputy Minister issued a circular defining for all officials concerned the further delegation of authority to Regional Highway Engineers, with the following purpose in mind:— (a) Co-ordinate the activities of the various branches in the field. (b) Ensure there is no duplication of effort. (c) Ensure that all officials are cognizant of all the region's activities. (d) Ensure that the best knowledge available is used. In summary, to ensure the most efficient and economic use of brain-power, man-power, and equipment. TRAINING PROGRAMMES Engineers-in-training.—We continue to expand this programme with the anticipated results. In this fiscal year, two more University of British Columbia graduates were hired, bringing the total to seven graduate civil engineers. Management Training Programme.—Full utilization of the courses conducted by the Department of Education has been accomplished. All regions have appointed lecturers to conduct the courses for the benefit of all supervisory personnel within their regions. Executive Development Course.—For this fiscal year, the following employees completed the course successfully: T. A. Jacklin and W. I. N. Higgins. Total graduates since inception of the plan is now four. PROMOTIONS Senior promotions in this year involve the appointment of Mr. J. A. Dennison as Senior Maintenance Engineer and Mr. E. B. Wilkins as Design and Planning Engineer, responsible for the over-all administration of Materials Testing Branch, Traffic Branch, Location Branch, and Records and Estimates Branch. Mr. J. W. Nelson was appointed Regional Construction Engineer, Kamloops. REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL OFFICER I 59 EXAMINATIONS Draughtsmen.—The Civil Service Commission continues to assist us in raising the standard of our draughtsmen through the medium of comprehensive examination. Engineering Aides.—The various branch heads involved are well satisfied with the programme of examination for their engineering aides. There is positive proof that our standard is improving and will continue to improve. JOB SURVEYS The major classification review of the year was that of Road Foremen. These employees were placed in proper relationship to the men they supervise by the addition of one more grade, resulting in four classifications from Sub-Foreman to Senior Foreman. POSITION COMPETITIONS Through the medium of the Civil Service Commission, forty-five competitions were held. Direct Departmental-wide competitions totalled thirty-one. APPLICATIONS A total of 1,137 applications was received, processed, and acknowledged. DEATHS The year was marred by the death of three long-term headquarters employees. We pay tribute here to their record of efficiency and devotion to the activities of the Department. They are Miss E. M. Brown, Secretary to the Deputy Minister (thirty- one years' service); Mr. J. U. Copeman, Bridge Maintenance Engineer (thirty-six years' service); and Mr. L. Harrison, Office Manager for Superintendent of Ferries (thirty-one years' service). H. C. Davies, Personnel Officer.

Trans-Power Construction Ltd REPORT OF THE SENIOR MAINTENANCE ENGINEER 1 75 REPORT OF THE SENIOR MAINTENANCE ENGINEER There has been a continual increase in maintenance operations during the past year. The total expenditure for all maintenance of highways, bridges, and ferries amounted to $17,279,110. This was an increase of $249,110 over the previous year's expenditures. Over 19,000 miles are kept open in the winter-time, and the service has been considerably expanded by increasing the efficiency of the operation and by obtaining additional high-speed snow-plough equipment. Some of this new equipment was tested in the Rogers Pass of the Trans-Canada Highway to prove its effectiveness under the severe conditions in which it will be called upon to serve in the winter of 1962/63. Further radio-telephone installations in the northern part of the Province have proved their worth in giving effective control not only of snow-ploughing crews, but also to control and direct the regular maintenance crews. The system is now being enlarged to include Vancouver Island in the network. Increased funds, together with the knowledge gained by studying maintenance procedures, have resulted in a higher standard of maintenance. An asphalt-patching school will be put on in 1962 to train crews to give an improved type of maintenance on asphalt pavements. Studies are being carried out on new types of sprays for more effective brush and weed control; and also in the reverse, grass is being sown in other places to prevent erosion. Departmental crews continue to carry out minor betterments of roads with their own equipment or with hired equipment on a day-labour basis. Many miles of minor roads are thereby improved to meet the demand of the increased traffic on them. The maintenance of bridges continues to be satisfactorily carried out by district bridge crews. These crews also replaced many wooden bridges with new and improved structures. The Department also carries on a bridge-replacement programme with culvert and fills. This programme is on a reduced scale compared with a few years ago, but it is keeping up with the deterioration of bridges which can be replaced by this method. On the whole, I am extremely pleased with the work that has been done in the past by the maintenance crews, and with improved methods, supervision, and machinery we can look forward to better-maintained roads in the years to come.

Due to the small capacity of the " Rolf Bruhn," schedules were disrupted to some extent. However, service was maintained with a minimum of delay to the patrons. Esquimalt District Roads Routine maintenance was carried out on all roads within the district. Major day-labour work included reconstruction work on Telegraph Road, Kangaroo Road, Kilmalu Road, and also major regrading of a drainage canal in the Langford area. An excessively dry summer last year resulted in numerous requests for dust-control, and an extensive oiling programme was instituted to relieve this situation. Flush- coating was carried out on numerous subdivision roads in the area, and will have the effect of reducing grading requirements in future years. Snow-removal Generally moderate snowfall in the area produced no serious problems. Constant patrols during the winter season kept trouble spots to a minimum. Bridges There was no new construction or major reconstruction of bridges during the last fiscal year. However, extensive repairs were done on Sooke River Bridge, Harris Cove Bridge, and the Jordan River Bridge. Three steel bridges were painted— namely, Colquitz, Thetis Overpass, and Tugwell Creek. Maintenance- Construction.- Lillooet (South) District Roads -Roads were maintained adequately throughout the year. -The road between Squamish and Cheekye was completed. J 82 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 Snow-removal.—Despite the severe winter, all roads were kept in good condition. Bridges Necessary maintenance on all bridges in the area was carried out. Mackenzie District Roads Maintenance.—Roads were maintained in fair to good condition throughout the year. A number of side-roads were widened and gravelled. Construction.—In the Bella Coola area, work continued on the reconstruction of the Chilcotin-Bella Coola Highway between Hagensborg and Bella Coola.

Snow-removal.—Despite the severe winter, all roads were kept in good condition. Bridges Normal bridge maintenance was performed during the year. Powell River Bridge, No. 62, failed. Four temporary H-pile bents were installed, and the bridge is now adequate for normal highway loading. Nanaimo-Islands District A programme of road mixing and double flush-coating was utilized in order to keep abreast of the growth of Nanaimo outside the city limits. A progressive programme of ditching and culvert installation was also followed, and a Gradall was employed for a period of two months on this work within the built-up area surrounding the City of Nanaimo. A programme of reconstruction was carried out on all the Gulf Islands roads, with paving on Saltspring, Galiano, Mayne, Pender, and Gabriola Islands. The programme was one of providing a dust-free surface to as great an area as possible. Unusual snow conditions were encountered, and this was handled by hiring available farm tractors to assist our equipment where necessary. The ferries operated satisfactorily throughout the year, and the usual minor maintenance was undertaken to the wharves. New Westminster District Normal maintenance was carried out on all streets in District Lot 172. Twentieth Street from Marine Drive to the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority tracks was widened and asphalt curb and catch-basins installed. REGIONAL REPORTS I 83 Snowfall conditions were relatively heavy at times during the winter months. However, all streets were kept ploughed and salted, and traffic flow was maintained with a minimum of difficulty. North Vancouver District Roads Maintenance.—Road maintenance was carried out on all roads. Construction.—The off-ramp from the Trans-Canada Highway to Mountain Highway was completed. A pedestrian underpass was installed under the Trans- Canada Highway at Eleventh Street in the Municipality of West Vancouver.

G. 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 new bridge over the Fraser River on the Chilcotin-Bella Coola Highway at Sheep Creek (steel arch with concrete deck), with a total length of 912 feet, was opened to traffic in June, replacing the wooden suspension bridge built in 1911. Work by Departmental forces included the reconstruction of 1 mile of the Exeter Station Road (near 100 Mile House) and extensive widening of some 18 miles of the Black Creek Road east of Horsefly. Numerous short sections were gravelled and ditched, and routine maintenance carried out on some 1,500 miles of roads. The winter proved a long and difficult one, with one storm alone producing up to 42 inches of snow, an amount not seen at one time for some thirty or more years. Kamloops District Roads Maintenance.—General maintenance was carried out on all trunk and main highways. The previous year's programme of shoulder restoration, weed-control, and sign maintenance was accelerated. Special costing to determine costs per mile of Trans-Canada Highway maintenance was kept on all of the 61.4 miles for the Design and Planning Engineer. Sanding operations required approximately 20,000 yards of sand, and extremely heavy snowfalls required crews, during some snowfalls, to work around the clock. Routine maintenance was carried out on all other roads. Heavy snowfalls caused some roads to be closed for a number of days. Construction.—On the North Thompson Highway 3.22 miles were reconstructed to standard. J 86 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 On the Highland Valley Road 9 miles were reconstructed and gravelled, and gravelling and road mixing were completed on 6.5 miles of the Westsyde Road. Approximately 60 miles of surface gravelling was carried out. All gravel roads in the Valleyview, Powers Addition, Brocklehurst, and Westsyde subdivision roads were oiled with Bunker B. Road mixing was carried out on 1.5 miles of subdivision roads. Bridges All bridges were inspected by the Bridge Foreman to determine the next year's maintenance and reconstruction programme. Clearwater Station Bridge, No. 56, was redecked and all stringers replaced. Blue River Bridge, No. 25, and Raft River Bridge, No. 166, were redecked with new cross-ties. Other small bridges were redecked with cross-ties. Two small structures were reconstructed. Eleven small bridges were eliminated by culvert and fill. Ferries General maintenance was carried out, and all the ferries were scraped and repainted. Short interruptions of service occurred due to ice and high water. Lillooet (North) District Roads Reconstruction.—Realignment and grade revision was carried out on 2.47 miles of Highway No. 12a, Lytton-Lillooet. A standard width of 40 feet was adopted for this road. On the Bralorne-Pemberton route, another 1.5 miles were built to jeep standards. This section is in a bad slide area. Major Improvements.—An extensive programme of improvements to side- roads was carried out again this year. Highway No. 12b, Lillooet-Cache Creek, was widened and gravelled over a 2-mile section. In the Bridge River area, Gun Lake Road, No. 90, was gravelled and ditched and 0.9 mile of Lillooet-Pioneer Road, No. 40, was realigned and gravelled. In the Clinton area a 2.2-mile section of Fifty Seven Mile—Williams Lake Road, No. 79, was reconstructed with improved alignment. Major improvements in the Pemberton area consisted of 2 miles of realignment, raising of the grade, and gravelling on Pemberton Meadows Road, No. 171, and 1.5 miles of widening on Pemberton Portage Road, No. 172.

Lillooet-Pioneer Road, No. 40, was repaved through Bralorne for 1 mile. In the Clinton area 0.4 mile of road mix was laid on Pavilion-Clinton Road, No. 11, and 0.2 mile on Clinton Station Hill, No. 52. Maintenance.—Normal maintenance was carried out on all district roads during the year. Snow-removal.—The amount of snowfall was above average, there being heavy falls in November and March in all areas. Snow removal was efficient, and private driveways were ploughed when requested. REGIONAL REPORTS I 87 Bridges Routine maintenance work was carried out on all bridges in the district. Three new bridges were built. These were Owl Creek, No. 172, a 54-foot stringer span, One Mile Lake, No. 241, a 34-foot stringer span, both the above being in the Pemberton area, and Gaspard, No. 324, a 28-foot stringer span at the Gang Ranch, South Cariboo. Ferries The cable car at Pavilion was in routine use throughout the year, and normal maintenance was carried out on this ferry. The reaction ferry at Big Bar had its normal yearly run, but was swept away by ice-jams after being hauled out for the winter. Ferry traffic was maintained by boat until the new reaction ferry was put into service. A cage has also been provided for use from the new cable at Big Bar. Buildings No new buildings were constructed this year. Routine maintenance, such as painting and repairs, was carried out as usual. North Oanagan District Roads Maintenance.—Routine maintenance was carried out on local and main highways with gravelling, shouldering, ditching, patching, and brushing. Mowers were kept in constant use in controlling weeds. Dust-laying was carried out to a greater extent than previously. Appearance of our main routes particularly show a marked improvement, with construction of sign islands, control of private signs, and improved patching methods. Paving.—District forces surfaced 6.7 miles of road with road-mix asphalt. Snow-removal.—The winter of 1961/62 was severe compared to the previous year. A good standard of maintenance and service was still carried out however. Bridges Two small timber bridges were completely renewed, and considerable major repairs and maintenance were carried out on other bridges. Highlight of the repair work was 715 feet of new decking on Enderby Bridge. 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. Bunker C oil and calcium chloride were used for dust-control on the Big Bend Highway and Revelstoke-Arrowhead Road. Widening was completed on the Beaton-Gerrard Road, and also on the Big Bend Highway at Mile 40. Ditching and shouldering on the Trans-Canada Highway east of Revelstoke were required for completion. Bridges Major construction was carried out on Bridge No. 321 on the Sicamous- Solsqua Road, besides various works on other bridges. I 88 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 Ferries Icing conditions were very bad at Twenty-four Mile Ferry, and a detour through Shelter Bay area was required for a short period of time. The Twelve Mile Ferry was trouble-free of icy conditions. Salmon Arm District Roads Maintenance.—General maintenance was carried out on all highways and side- roads throughout the district. Special attention was given to shoulder maintenance on main highways and to drainage improvements and ditching on the side-road system. Calcium chloride was extensively used as a dust preventive in the more populated areas. Reconstruction.—Holding Road, No. 451, Mile 4.0 to Mile 5.5: Major rock work was performed to improve alignment and establish minimum 30-foot subgrade. Sorrento-Eagle Bay Road, No. 67, Project No. 1156, Mile 0.0 to Mile 1.0: Work consisted of reconstruction to 30-foot subgrade, drainage improvement and culvert installation, and application of base gravel and 3A -inch crushed gravel.

Salmon Arm-Grand Prairie Road, No. 304r, Project No. 1156, Mile 0.0 to Mile 4.2: Work consisted of reconstruction to 30-foot subgrade width and application of a minimum of 12 inches of pit-run and 6 inches of 1^-inch crushed gravel. Squilax-Anglemont Road, No. 446, Project No. 1156, Mile 20.1 to Mile 22.1: Clearing and grubbing were completed to 66-foot width in preparation for reconstruction. Snow-removal.—Snowfall in the area was above average during the year. All roads in the area were kept open. More extensive use of chemicals and the establishment of shift work on snow-removal greatly improved the efficiency of the operation. Bridges Major repairs were carried out on Pritchard Bridge, No. 65. Normal maintenance was carried out on all other bridges in the district. Ferries Shuswap Lake ferry service operated satisfactorily. Similkameen District Roads Day-labour Construction and Reconstruction.—Two miles of Richter Pass Road, No. 89, were reconstructed to standard, and 2.8 miles of orchard road in the Oliver-Osoyoos area were reconstructed in preparation for paving.

Paving.—A total of 9.6 miles was paved with asphalt road mix by district crews. Snow-removal.—Although above average snow conditions were experienced, all roads were kept open and in good condition. Bridges All bridges were maintained in satisfactory condition. Yale District Roads Maintenance.—General maintenance work was carried out on all roads in the district. Weed and brush killers were applied to the main highways. Reconstruction and gravelling were carried out on 5 miles of the Mamit Lake Road. Snow-removal was performed with the accepted efficiency. Major Construction and Reconstruction. — Three and one-half miles of the Merritt-Spences Bridge Road were reconstructed. Major improvements were completed on the Coalmont Road and Bothanie Road. The Hope yard buildings were completed. A total of 1.5 miles of subdivision roads in Collettville and Tulameen were constructed and gravelled. Paving.—A total of 8.75 miles of the Merritt-Spences Bridge Road was road- mixed, thus completing an asphalt surface on Highway No. 8. Bridges Work continued on the new Alexandra Bridge, Spences Bridge, and Anderson Bridge and commenced on the two overhead bridges at Drynoch Slide and the overhead bridge at Haig. Necessary maintenance of district bridges continued. Ferries New electrically operated ramps were completed for the North Bend aerial ferry. The Lytton ferry gave its usual satisfactory service. Safety District crews won a further two safety awards. REGION No. 3 (D. F. Martin, Regional Highway Engineer, Nelson) Columbia, Cranbrook, Fernie, Grand Forks-Greenwood, Kaslo-Slocan, Nelson- Creston, and Rossi and-Trail Electoral Districts I 92 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 Columbia District Roads Maintenance on the Big Bend section of the Trans-Canada Highway consisted principally of replacing old timber culverts, widening, gravelling, and application of calcium chloride. On the Kicking Horse section a considerable number of rock and mud slides were removed. All other roads were maintained satisfactorily. A logging company did considerable gravelling and maintenance on the Big Bend section and kept the road snow-ploughed all winter to Mile 82. Construction by day-labour consisted of completing reconstruction of North Vermilion section, Mile 51.70 to Mile 55.33. The grade on a 1-mile section just north of this project was raised 1.5 feet with gravel and repaved. This appears to have prevented silt from coming through the pavement and to have eliminated frost heaving in this section. Kootenay-Columbia Highway, No. 95, was reconstructed from Athalmer Junction to Windermere, Mile 75.6 to Mile 80.12, to 48-foot road-bed standard. A total of 2.90 miles of road-mix paving was completed on Edgewater approaches and the Lakeview Road. There were 1.80 miles of road-mix patching completed, as well as remixing 1.20 miles on Athalmer Road. Snowfall was normal, but increased sanding was required due to thawing and winter rains. Frost penetration was above normal due to severe cold weather during late February, and this caused a most severe break-up on the Kootenay-Columbia Highway. Flooding of rivers and creeks was extensive. Bridges Two bridges were reconstructed. More than usual maintenance was required due to high water and increased amount of driftwood, as well as logging, on the Big Bend Highway. Cranbrook District Roads Maintenance.—General maintenance, which included pavement patching, grading of gravel roads, culvert installation, and minor ditching, was carried out on all district roads. Weed-spraying was done on the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway in the Yahk area. Dust was a problem on gravel roads in residential areas, and calcium chloride was applied as required to alleviate the situation. Costly maintenance was again required in the rock cuts along Moyie Lake. Spring break-up conditions were less severe than expected. Construction.—One and one-half miles of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway were reconstructed in the Rampart area, and a road-mix surface was applied. Sections amounting to 6 miles were reconstructed and road-mixed on the Kootenay-Columbia Highway immediately north of Kimberley. Reconstruction and road mixing were completed on the Wattsville Road, a local road in the Cranbrook area. Clearing on the first 2-mile section of the new Eager Hill-Fort Steele Highway was undertaken during February and March. Snow-removal.—Snowfall was somewhat lighter than normal in most areas, and no special problems were encountered. Icing conditions were severe at times, but road surfaces were maintained in a satisfactory manner. — REGIONAL REPORTS I 93 Bridges All bridges were maintained as required, and two small bridges were reconstructed. Buildings Construction of the three-bay Kimberley equipment-shed was completed, except for the wiring and heating systems. Fernie District Roads Maintenance.—General maintenance, including clearing and installing culverts, was carried out on all district roads. Oiling was done at Waldo, Baynes Lake, part of Road No. 54, and Road No. 56, as well as certain sections of Roads No. 9 and No. 4. Weed-spraying was done on the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway between Wardner and Crowsnest, and on the Elko-Roosville Highway, No. 55, from Roos- ville to Elko Junction. Approximately 500 cubic yards of asphalt mulch were mixed and used for pavement repairs. Construction.—Two and one-half miles south from Wasa were reconstructed by the regional construction unit under Cranbrook supervision on the Kootenay- Columbia Highway. One mile of new construction, from Mile 598.5 to Mile 599.5, was 70 per cent completed on the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, and from Mile 544 to Mile 545, 3,300 lineal feet of concrete guard-rail were installed. Paving.—Road-mix or pulvimix paving was as follows: Kootenay-Columbia Highway, Fort Steele north, 1.4 miles; Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, Sixteen Mile Hill to Sparwood, repaving surface laid in 1960, 3.5 miles; Elko-Roosville Highway, strengthening various sections, 2.3 miles; for a total of 7.2 miles. Oiling (light penetration treatment) carried out was as follows: Elko Power Plant Road, 1.4 miles; Jaffray-Waldo Road, 2.0 miles; Waldo Cut-off Road, 3.1 miles; Elk Valley Road, 2.0 miles; for a total of 8.5 miles. Snow-removal.—General snow-clearing and sanding operations were carried out during the winter. Extra sanding was frequently required due to rapidly changing temperatures. Wet snowslides occurred at Morrissey during late March, but, due to the permanent detour, no traffic tie-up was experienced. Bridges Bellanger Bridge, No. 42, was rebuilt, and stringers and the deck were replaced on Michel Prairie Bridge, No. 20. Channel-clearing and bank protection were done at West Fernie Bridge, No. 7, and North Fernie Bridge, No. 8. An asphalt deck was placed on top of a deteriorated concrete deck on Loop Bridge, No. 13. Broken truss members were replaced on Morrissey Bridge, No. 56, and Sand Creek Bridge, No. 28. Fifteen other bridges in the district were repaired and maintained. A temporary Bailey bridge crossing at Elk River on the Elko-Roosville Highway was washed out by a high flood in June. It was replaced by district forces on a new location 500 feet up-stream and was reopened for traffic on August 1st. J 94 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 Grand Forks-Greenwood District Roads Maintenance.—All district roads were maintained throughout the year. Shoulder-widening and ditching were carried out from 10 miles east of Osoyoos to Rock Creek Canyon, with both shoulders widened to 6 feet over 2.1 miles and one shoulder widened to 6 feet over 7.1 miles. Townsite roads in Anaconda and Rock Creek were widened and gravelled in preparation for paving. Construction (Day-labour).—Reconstruction was continued on the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway between Grand Forks and Greenwood, with 2.89 miles completed and 0.8 mile 60 per cent completed. On Kettle River Main Road, No. 43, 0.3 mile was reconstructed at Abel Point. There were 1.58 miles of townsite roads widened and gravelled at Christina Lake. Paving (District).—A total of 2.89 miles of road-mix paving was carried out on the newly reconstructed sections of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway between Grand Forks and Greenwood. On the Grand Forks-Franklin Road, No. 30, from the Grand Forks City boundary north, 1.7 miles of road-mix paving was completed. A total of 1.3 miles of penetration and seal-coat paving was completed in the Christina Lake area. Snow-removal.—All roads were kept open and sanded where necessary. Crews worked on a three-shift basis providing coverage at night and on week-ends without incurring large amounts of overtime. Due to the work on Paulson Bridge, the new Christina Lake-Kinnaird section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway up to the bridge-site was kept open. Some four to five snowslides occurred on this section during the winter. The entire Christina Lake-Kinnaird section, utilizing a 4-mile detour at Paulson, was ploughed and opened for traffic on March 15th. Bridges All bridges were maintained throughout the year. Considerable reinforcing of Christina Creek Bridge, No. 49, was carried out to allow legal loading with the opening to traffic of the new Christina Lake-Kinnaird section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway. Buildings Construction of the new four-bay equipment-shed and oil-house at Rock Creek was completed, with the exception of inside finishing of the oil-house. A heating system consisting of an oil-fired hot-air furnace was installed. Completion of wiring and the provision of a water-supply remain to be done. Kaslo-Slocan District Roads A total length of 4 miles of road-mix pavement was placed in heavy traffic areas. This completed the section Silverton-New Denver-Rosebery on Highway No. 6 and short sections through Mirror Lake, south of Kaslo, and just south of Woodbury Bridge on the Balfour-Kaslo Highway, together with the Arterial 291r in New Denver, made up this amount. REGIONAL REPORTS J 95 Heavy construction on sections totalling 6 miles on Highway No. 6 were completed, and a mile south of Ainsworth on the Balfour-Kaslo Highway was partially finished. Under maintenance many sections of main and side roads were gravelled with pit-run and crushed material. The high water flooded several sections of road from Arrow Park to Fauquier and from Lardeau to Gerrard. No major bridges or washouts occurred. Extensive river work was done in the Lardeau River and tributary creeks in the spring of 1962 to prevent such damage in the future. Bridges The replacement of the bridge at Needles across the Whatshan River was the major bridge construction. Four other bridges were built, and one major reconstruction started in early 1960 was completed. Ferries New diesel motors and drive mechanisms were installed in the ferries at Arrow Park and Needles. Nelson-Creston District Roads Work continued on the Nelson-Castlegar section of Highway No. 3, with the Bear Creek Bridge Elimination section completed and ready for surfacing. Steady progress was made on the rock cut to the west of the creek. Concrete curb and gutter was constructed on the north side of Vernon Street, Arterial 186r, between Kootenay and Stanley Streets, within the City of Nelson limits. On the Goatfell-Hazel Creek section of Highway No. 3, 2 miles were slashed and burned, and the approaches to the Canyon Bridge were constructed ready for surfacing. Three miles of roads in the Wynndel orchard area were widened, ditched, and gravelled. In the Nelson area, 0.5 mile of the Knox Road was widened and gravelled. In addition, normal maintenance was carried out on all district roads, with extensive ditching and shouldering on the Salmo—Ross Spur section of Highway No. 6 and the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway between Kuskanook and Kootenay Bay. Bridges All bridges were maintained as required. Some extensive channel work at Crawford Creek was done in an effort to lessen flood damage. Ferries The main lake ferries continued their operation, carrying an increased volume of traffic. During the months of July and August a fifty-minute schedule was maintained. A third engine was installed in the M.V. " Balfour " by the end of February, 1962. Improvements at the Balfour landing included a new comfort station and better car-storage facilities. A new steel auto-ferry to replace the present Harrop-Procter ferry was constructed, to be ready for service by the end of April. REGIONAL REPORTS J 97 Rossland-Trail District Roads The Casino Road was reconstructed and a road-mix surface laid from Mile 0.0 at Trail to Mile 3.0. The Cascade Road was regravelled with screened gravel from Mile 0.0 at Rossland to Mile 6.0. A 1.5-mile section of the Robson-Deer Park Road was reconstructed, with shoulder-widening and surfacing with road-mix pavement. Gravelling and shoulder improvement were carried out on 2 miles of subdivision roads in the Genelle-China Creek area. A new-type snow-plough, S-5002, was used on the new Christina Lake- Kinnaird section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway to keep the road open from Kinnaird to the summit. Ferries Castlegar.—Flooding water of the Columbia River caused a few days' interruption to service during late June, 1961. Both ferries operated at full capacity during summer months. A major reconstruction job to the No. 1 ferry wharves was done in March of 1962. Renata Ferry.—A forestry barge was used during March to help shuttle the existing ferry while the ferry engine and propelling unit received a major overhaul. Bridges Waneta Bridge was redecked, and Ross Spur No. 2 Bridge was reconstructed. 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 Spring break-up came late in the year, which resulted in a high, fast run-off of snow waters from the mountains. Several small bridges and culverts were washed out on the Stewart-Cassiar Highway. Temporary repairs were effected in most cases without undue interference caused to traffic. Permanent repairs were made later. A fairly dry summer permitted a general improvement to be made to existing roads by district maintenance forces. Ditches were cleaned, replacement culverts installed, and gravel was placed on some thin sections. Day-labour work was performed on the Dease Lake-Telegraph Creek Road. Nine miles were reconstructed and gravelled. An average snowfall permitted district forces to keep all roads open and stay within budgets. Atlin (South) District Roads Roads in the Stewart and Alice Arm areas were severely damaged by a succession of floods in October. Contractors' equipment was utilized in the restoration of the Bear River Road until snow conditions made further work impracticable. Con- J 98 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 siderable work will have to be undertaken this year to complete the flood repairs. Floods in Alaska in January completely severed access to the Premier Mine Road. Project No. 1177, Arterial Highway No. 72r, in the Village of Stewart, was reconstructed for 1.78 miles. This road was damaged later by floods. Bridges A new bridge was built over a new channel of the Bear River. Bitter Creek Bridge was rebuilt after damage by floods, and four temporary bridges were erected. One of these is still in use, with two having been swept away in later floods. All timberwork, except towers, was replaced on the Kitsault Suspension Bridge. Extensive channel work was undertaken at most bridge-sites in the Stewart area. Buildings and Yards In the Stewart garage the interior received a second coat of fire-resistant paint, overhead doors were hung, heating ducts were insulated, and four cable tie-backs were installed to prevent further spreading of the walls. The house occupied by the mechanical foreman in Stewart was renovated and improved. A new site for garage and yard was chosen, and a reserve placed in favour of this Department. Cariboo (North) District Roads Maintenance.—As of January 1, 1962, a transfer of roads was made with Cariboo (South) District. The Likely area, with its 37 miles of road, was transferred to Cariboo (South) District and 38 miles close to Soda Creek area taken over. Maintenance funds were utilized to (1) reconstruct (widening, ditching) approximately 7 miles, (2) gravel approximately 21.5 miles, and (3) regravel approximately 26.6 miles. Two slide areas on the Cariboo Highway were repaired, with a programme of general clean-up and guard-rail realignment. Six thousand three hundred feet of culvert pipe were laid, and 158,000 cubic yards of gravel were hauled. Construction.—Maple Drive was reconstructed and pulvimixed from Cariboo Highway to its junction with the Western Plywoods Road. Approximately 6 miles of the Barkerville Road was gravelled in preparation for pulvimix. Quesnel Access Road was constructed from Kinchant to the new Quesnel River Bridge. Snow-removal.—Approximately 920 miles of road were kept open, during which 10,900 yards of sand and 180 tons of chemicals were used. The heavy snowfall (72 inches in Quesnel and 231 inches in Wells) called for a considerable increase in requests for private ploughing. Bridges Bear River Bridge, No. 15, was completed. Williams Creek Bridge, No. 200, has had temporary repairs made. This bridge is the centre of a controversy with regard to relocating the road around Barkerville. At Canyon Creek Bridge, No. 28, quarried rock was placed to prevent scour to and replace the previous gravel dyke and pile deflection wall. J 100 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 Ferries A decision was reached with regard to moving Soda Creek Ferry approximately 3 miles up-stream. A new ferryman's house was started, together with approach roads and site-clearing. An ice-jam in February destroyed the Macalister Ferry, with one pontoon being carried away. This same ice-jam caused sufficient damage to warrant rebuilding the Soda Creek Ferry. Severe winter conditions caused all three ferries to be removed from service late in November. Government Buildings Repairs were carried out on the District Engineer's residence in addition to the interior walls being redecorated. A new hoist was installed in the Quesnel garage. Soda Creek garage was wired and connected to B.C. Power. Flood Quesnel experienced two ice-jams in February, with flooding in the low-lying areas. Outside of the damage to the Soda Creek and Macalister Ferries, little damage was experienced. Crews and equipment were placed at the disposal of the Town of Quesnel to aid in the evacuation. Fraser Bridge, No. 98, at Quesnel was threatened, but the ice receded, leaving no apparent damage. Fort George District Roads Maintenance.—The summer of 1961 was one of the better seasons experienced in the North. Spring break-up was moderate, followed by a hot dry summer, allowing considerable maintenance work to be carried out on secondary roads. Other than for dust problems in some areas, roads remained in good condition throughout the summer and fall. Construction.—A large day-labour programme was carried out and was comprised of two major jobs and several smaller ones. Preparation for paving of 26 miles of the John Hart Highway from Mile 76 to Mile 99 was completed in good time from May 15th to July 15th. This crew moved to the Blackwater Road (serving Baldy Hughes Radar Base), where some grade preparation had already been carried out and a 6-inch mat of soil cement was laid over 17Vi miles of road. On the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway west of Prince George, the Sweden Creek-Telachik section (7.5 miles) was completed and pulvimixed. Five minor jobs in the McBride area were completed, and a primary crusher prepared a large stockpile of gravel for application to the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway east from McBride. Snow-removal.—Snowfall for the first half of the winter was above normal. Unusual weather conditions created ice problems, and a seven-day rain period first caused minor floods then ice. Bridges Major repairs were carried out on the Kennedy Bridge (feeder road to John Hart Highway) and on the McLellan Bridge (Tete Jaune). Cottonwood Bridge at Mile 39 John Hart Highway, was replaced by a culvert and fill. REGIONAL REPORTS J 101 Ferries Isle Pierre Ferry operated all season, while the Hansard Ferry operated another long summer season. Traffic on this latter ferry was very heavy. North Peace River District Roads Spring break-up was not severe. Restrictions were placed on dirt and gravel side-roads for short periods, and 75 per cent restriction remained on the paved portion of the Alaska Highway until mid-June. A dry summer assisted in the completion of day-labour projects undertaken. Thirty-seven miles of main, farm settlement, and school-bus roads were gravelled. Major improvements to the Hudson Hope Road were undertaken. Fifteen miles of highway were constructed west from Hudson Hope to Portage Mountain dam-site. One mile of service road was constructed in Fort Nelson. Snow came about mid-October and lasted through to the end of March. Snowfall was not heavy, but wind, drift, and ice conditions caused much difficulty. Bridges A new bridge at Farrel Creek on the Hudson Hope Road was constructed. The Fort Nelson River Bridge was reconstructed. Omineca (East) District Roads General Maintenance.—A good break-up was experienced, and a dry summer followed. As a consequence, district roads were generally well maintained throughout the year. Construction.—Two sections of the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway, totalling 8.5 miles, were gravelled and later pulvimixed by the Surfacing Branch. On the Vanderhoof-Stuart Lake Road, 3 miles were widened preparatory to base gravelling. One mile of this was treated with 24 inches of pit-run gravel. Thirteen miles of the Vanderhoof-Stuart Lake Road were reditched, and a cover of gravel and shale applied. Twelve miles of other side-roads were reditched and gravelled. Snow-removal.—Snowfall was very heavy until January 1, light thereafter, with a heavy thaw during January. The thaw produced severe icing conditions on the highways and many frozen culverts. Requirements for sanding was heavy. Bridges Normal maintenance was carried out on all district bridges. Seventy feet of double single Bailey bridge were installed over the Nation River, replacing the King truss. Omineca (West) District Roads Maintenance.—Routine maintenance was undertaken during the year on all roads within the district. Patching, ditching, minor realignment, sign maintenance, etc., were undertaken on a routine basis. Reconstruction.—Reconstruction was completed between Topley and Perow on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway. Reconstruction was well under way on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway east of Tintagel. Li u) o> «J «J I 102 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 A section of North Francois Road, No. 80, was completed. Colleymount Road, No. 21, along Francois Lake, received considerable repair, two bridges being eliminated and one entirely repaired. Riprap was deposited along the lake-shore to prevent scouring. Snow-removal.—There was an above average snowfall throughout the district, with heavy rains during the latter part of January, causing severe icing conditions and considerable drainage problems due to frozen culverts and ditches. Bridges Houston Bridge, No. 35, immediately east of Houston, required extensive repairs to the substructure and deck. Trout Creek Bridge, No. 125, on the Colleymount Road, was extensively repaired and redecked. Nourse Creek Bridge, No. 476, collapsed under a heavy load on September 13, 1961, and was replaced with a multi-plate culvert and fill. Two other bridges—Snodgrass and Peacock—were also replaced by culverts and fill. Ferries The Francois Lake ferry M.V. " Jacob Henkel " was forced to cease operations on January 17, 1962, due to ice conditions, and remained out of service until May 4th. While out of service, the vessel successfully received its four-year major refit. General repairs were made to the docks at Southbank and North Francois, with considerable work on the substructure of the Southbank trestle. Buildings Two dry storage sheds, one each at Houston and Burns Lake, were completed. Prince Rupert District Roads Roads in the Prince Rupert area and on the Queen Charlotte Islands were maintained to a good standard throughout the year without difficulty, the only exception being the maintenance of 10 miles of old pavement which is subject to heavy traffic. Seven miles of the Queen Charlotte City-Masset Road received major regravel- ling, and 3.5 miles were widened. Crushed shot-rock surfacing on the Cassiar Cannery Road was fragmented by the use of a grid roller for a distance of 5 miles. In conjunction with Skeena (West) District, 3.5 miles of the Northern Trans- Provincial Highway, No. 16, along the Skeena River were riprapped, a total of 37,700 cubic yards of shot rock being placed from the latter part of January to March 31st. Project No. 1178 (Prince Rupert): Arterial Highway 122r was widened for two blocks along McBride Street. A creosoted-timber retaining-wall 110 by 15 feet was erected. Project No. 1178 (Watun River): One mile of subgrade was built on a revised location at Watun River Hill to eliminate excessive grades. The district this past year took over the winter maintenance of 17 additional miles of the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway. This arrangement proved practicable and more efficient, but pointed to the need of additional snow-removal equipment for the district. Exceedingly heavy snowfall was experienced during the early part of the winter. Again the use of chemicals, especially salt, proved most beneficial in this area. REGIONAL REPORTS I 103 Bridges All bridges in the district received minor maintenance, including brushing and cleaning, and several were repainted. Three bridges were reconstructed, and one minor bridge replaced by culvert and fill. Buildings and Yards Prince Rupert garage interior received two coats of fire-resistant paint. Paint for the outside of the building was purchased. New eave-troughs were installed, and the parts-room was renovated. Plans prepared by the district were submitted to region showing location and layout of a proposed new garage. The yard was extended to provide additional material-storage space. New roofing was purchased for the mechanical foreman's residence and the warehouse. At the Port Clements garage a water system, along with a washroom, toilet, and shower, was installed. The yard was extended to provide additional storage space. Work is well under way on construction of a new house for the road maintenance foreman at Port Clements. Skeena (East) District Roads Maintenance.—Normal maintenance was carried out on all roads. The district forces continued a programme of major gravel renewal and improvements on 34 miles of secondary road and on 3 miles of the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway, No. 16. Construction.—Surfacing gravel was placed on 3.5 miles of the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway between Price Creek and Boulder (West) Creek. Some base gravel and surfacing gravel was placed on 2 miles of the same highway at Boulder (East) Creek. The approaches to the Canadian National Railways overpass at Mission Creek (South Hazelton) were completed, except for surfacing gravel. Snow-removal.—Snow conditions were heavy in December and January. Frequent rains after the middle of January resulted in very serious icing conditions, and road sand requirements were double those of the previous year. Bridges Necessary maintenance was carried out on all bridges. Stoney Creek Bridge was replaced after failure because of an overload. Hells Bells Bridge on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway was replaced by a much shorter span. Ferries The ferries operated normally, except that rowboat service at Kitwanga was suspended in January because of icing conditions in the Skeena River. New row- boats and landing-pontoons were built for Cedarvale and Kitwanga Ferries. Skeena (West) District Roads Maintenance.—District roads were maintained in good condition most of the year. Spring break-up was heavier than in the previous year. Load restrictions were imposed March 18th and rescinded on May 14th. J 104 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1961/62 All gravel roads received extensive maintenance gravelling and improvement. Signs were maintained in good order and brought up to standard. Extensive patching was carried out on older pavement sections. Weed-spraying was carried out where necessary. On October 3rd approaches to four bridges on Highway No. 16 west of Terrace and two bridges on Kalum Lake Road were washed out by flood-waters. Roads were closed to traffic for twenty-four hours. On October 13th high water in the Kitimat River washed out 1,000 feet of Highway No. 25 between Terrace and Kitimat, closing the road for one day until a detour could be constructed. The roadway was replaced and extensive riprap protection was carried out, as well as channel work in the river-bed. On October 13th three bridge approaches on Highway No. 16 west of Terrace and one bridge approach on Kalum Lake Road were again washed out by extreme high water, closing roads for seven hours. High water also caused four major washouts on Highway No. 16 east of Terrace, closing the road for fifteen hours. One-half mile of roadway was destroyed on Kalum Lake Road, and numerous washouts occurred on many side-roads. Snow-removal.—Heavy icing conditions began in late November and continued until March 15th. Snowfall was heavy, requiring constant ploughing and use of heavy equipment. On January 26th, 30 inches of snow fell overnight. On January 27th two snowslides 40 miles west of Terrace on Highway No. 16 closed both the railway and the highway to traffic for four days. When the slide was cleared away, nine large tractors continued clearing the snow from the highway, which was open only to single-lane traffic for over 65 miles. Bridges Eight bridges were rebuilt from the pilings up. Repairs were carried out on forty-six bridges, and six bridges were painted. All bridges were brushed and cleared out underneath. Ferries Satisfactory ferry service at Usk and Copper was supplied during the season. Boat service was supplied from December until April with intermittent delays due to ice in the river. Copper Ferry was launched May 2, 1961, and beached December 5, 1961. Usk Ferry was launched April 17, 1961, and beached December 21, 1961. South Peace River District Roads Maintenance.—Roads were maintained to an adequate standard during the year. A particularly heavy programme of pavement patching was necessary to maintain sections of old pavement. A programme of weed and brush control was carried out on trunk highways and on side-roads in farming areas. Approximately 200 miles of right-of-way were sprayed, on widths ranging from 66 to 200 feet. Our district sign crew continued to improve and maintain highway signs throughout the district. Construction.—Good weather conditions prevailed for most of the construction season. REGIONAL REPORTS I 105 On the John Hart Highway, pit-run and crushed gravel base courses were completed from Mile 202.0 to Mile 212.5 prior to paving. From Mile 187 to Mile 202, widening, drainage improvements, and base strengthening were carried out; this work was 70 per cent complete as at March, 1962. The south approach was constructed to the proposed Hudson Hope Ferry. Seven miles of the Spirit River Road were shaped and gravelled from the Alberta Border west. Fifty-eight miles of main side-roads and school-bus routes were newly gravelled; also 14.5 miles of other roads were regravelled. Twenty-eight miles of side-roads were cleared and high-graded, with culverts installed. Snow-removal.—Snowfall was lighter than average. Serious ice conditions resulted with alternate thawing and freezing temperatures. Large quantities of sand and road salt were used as severe ice conditions reached an all-time high. Bridges Crassiar Bridge, No. 23, and Lillico Bridge, No. 15, on the John Hart Highway were reconstructed. Both are pile trestles. Reconstruction of the Riley Bridge, No. 84, was commenced during the winter months. A new 50-foot steel-stringer span was constructed over Maurice Creek on the ferry approach road opposite Hudson Hope. One small pile trestle bridge (17-foot span) was constructed on a farm feeder road. Normal maintenance, including cleaning, painting, deck and fence repairs, etc., was carried out on other bridges. Ferries The ferry-landings at the Twidwell Bend and Clayhurst Ferries had to be attended to continuously due to fluctuating water-levels, otherwise ferry operations were normal. An ice crossing was maintained at Clayhurst during the winter months.
