The sum of $2,988,251.98 was expended on the purchase of new equipment as follows: 15 power graders; 8 crawler tractors; 14 rubber-tired tractor loaders; 22 rubber-tired tractors, loaders, and mowers; 2 motor-cycles; 188 half- to one- ton trucks; 95 4-ton trucks; 2 wood chippers; 4 tank car heaters; 22 truck-mounted snow ploughs; 18 house, office, and miscellaneous trailers; 4 screening plants; 9 sand-spreader bodies; 4 4,000-gallon asphalt tanks; 4 1,250-gallon maintenance distributors; 8 gas-operated pavement breakers; 13 vibratory rollers; 1 self-propelled rubber-tired roller; 4 compressors; 2 rotary snow ploughs; and sundry small equipment such as pumps, cement-mixers, light plants, and garage equipment. SIGN SHOP A net expenditure of $225,633.67 was incurred by the Departmental Sign Shop in the production of all road signs during the fiscal year. J. H. Smythe, Superintendent of Equipment. C 16 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ELECTRONICS Design and construction of solid state, battery operated, repeaters, duplex trunk and control equipment continued during the year. Ten new fiberglass domes were installed on mountain top locations by helicopter and 12 buildings already installed were modified. The trunk circuits from Kamloops to the Peace River were transferred to the new system during the summer as were also the Fraser Canyon trunk and the trunk leg covering the Golden area. Some 34 mobile units, four ferries, and two base stations were added to the system. W. F. Conlan, Director of Electronics. REPORT OF THE CHIEF HIGHWAY ENGINEER C 17 REPORT OF THE CHIEF HIGHWAY ENGINEER Submitted herewith are reports from the Senior Design Engineer, Director of Construction, Senior Paving Engineer, Bridge Construction Engineer, Senior Traffic Engineer, and Senior Maintenance Engineer. The total length of final location surveys completed during the year was 259 miles and the total length of office design, including estimates, completed was 172 miles. There were 136 design assignments handled by the Bridge Design Branch. Over 98 miles of roads were constructed or reconstructed by contract. Sections between Nakusp and Fauquier on the Vernon-Slocan Highway and between Shelter Bay and Revelstoke on the Big Bend Highway were completed this year. Both of these highways were required to be relocated due to construction of the Hugh Keen- leyside Dam at Castlegar. There was a marked increase in the length of plantmixed asphalt concrete pavement laid, the total being over 335 miles. However, only 270 miles of roadmixed pavement were completed, which is considerably less than that in the previous year. Construction was completed on a total of 38 bridges. Of these, 21 are on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway and the North Thompson Highway. Another 33 structures are under construction. In summary, I am pleased to report that the amount of construction completed on grading, paving, and bridge projects during the year can be considered to be very satisfactory. J. A. Dennison, Chief Highway Engineer. C 18 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 REPORT OF THE SENIOR DESIGN ENGINEER The position of Senior Design Engineer involves responsibility for the entire design function in the Department of Highways excluding the design of vessels in the ferry services and excluding electrical, mechanical, and electronic design and pavement design. Reporting directly to the Senior Design Engineer are the Senior Bridge Design Engineer, the Director of Location, and the Dock Design Engineer. The latter's function also includes construction and maintenance as well as design of British Columbia Ferries Division terminals including docking facilities, therefore over-all responsibility for this function also rests with the Senior Design Engineer. BRIDGE DESIGN L. C. Johnson, Bridge Design Engineer During the year Bridge Design proceeded on structures on the main highways and, in particular, work was carried out on 31 structures on the Northern Trans- Provincial Highway, 19 on the North Thompson Highway, nine on the Patricia Bay Highway (including three pedestrian overpasses), and four on the Shelter Bay- Revelstoke Highway. Design of structures was also carried out on the established main highways including 10 new structures on the Trans-Canada Highway, three on the Garibaldi Highway, and three over the Roberts Bank railway. Work also continued on the various maintenance projects. In all, Bridge Design worked on 136 design assignments, some of which will be continued into next year. In addition, considerable office time was spent on load limit calculations for investigating overloads on bridges, fabricator's shop drawings, examination of consulting engineer's submissions, approval of private structures over and under Provincial highways, examination of submissions for carrying utilities on bridge structures, design and draughting for the Dock Design Engineer, and inspection of structural steel welded fabrication. One design engineer is employed full time in organizing the Branch's use of the computer. Increased use has enabled more complex problems to be solved. In keeping with the more efficient filing systems now being utilized by the Service, the Branch has commenced to miniaturize all bridge drawings, including fabricator's shop drawings and ferry-landing drawings. Approximately 16,000 drawings will be miniaturized and indexed. The Senior Bridge Design Engineer was appointed to the Canadian Standards Association Committee on Highway Bridges. The C.S.A. Standard-S6, the Design of Highway Bridges, is in the process of being revised. This resulted in a subsequent assignment as the Chairman of the sub-committee responsible for recommending revisions to the Timber Design section of the standard. The Department is again participating in the C.G.R.A. Committee on Bridge Scour by appointing a Supervising Design Engineer as a delegate of the committee which is producing a guide to bridge hydraulics. REPORT OF SENIOR DESIGN ENGINEER C 19 In September the position of Bridge Inspection Engineer was placed under the direction of the Senior Design Engineer. The Bridge Inspection Engineer is responsible for liaison with the Senior Maintenance Engineer and the Regional Highway Engineer for the purpose of structural inspection where damage or structural problems develop. General inspection is carried out by the District officials. To date, 15 structures have been subjected to very detailed inspection arising from either special maintenance problems or load reclassification required on older structures. In addition, complete inspections have been made on five steel structures on main highways. ..::■■....' :. ' Mission Bridge (under construction).

Tasaka, Dock Design Engineer Major reconstruction was carried out for the British Columbia Ferries Division, during the year, on Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen ferry terminals. This was to enable the lengthened ferries to operate, and involved modifications to marine works and to passenger-loading facilities for promenade deck loading of pedestrians. Also, to increase efficiency in ship movement, an underwater rock pinnacle was blasted out of Gosse Passage adjacent to Swartz Bay terminal to enable the ferries to use that channel at all tide levels. The new ferry terminals at Heriot Bay and Quathiaski Cove, on Quadra Island, and the new terminal at Whaletown, on Cortes Island, were completed for British Columbia Department of Highways ferries. Rebuilding of the terminal at Blubber Bay, on Texada Island, was undertaken and complete reconstruction was carried out to the marine works at Little River terminal and at Westview terminal, where a compound for vehicle assembly was also constructed with waiting-room and tourist facilities. Modifications to Campbell River and Crofton ferry terminals were carried out and an assembly area constructed at Campbell River. In the Interior the cradle and winch for the marine railway at Shelter Bay were installed and a contract was let for illumination and heating of the ramps at Galena Bay and Shelter Bay.

In all, 35 projects, with a combined length of 201 miles, were sent in by Victoria and the four regions for processing on the design programmes. Some use was also made of the pavement elevation and traverse programmes. A number of inquiries were made during the year by other provinces and states about the possibility of borrowing certain of our earthwork programmes, as they contain some features not generally available on standard programme packages. Considerable work was done in writing programmes for the Construction Branch and helping them set up their own computer section.

C 32 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF CONSTRUCTION ROAD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS Normal progress was made on practically all grading contract projects. The total mileage constructed amounted to 98.69. Construction was completed on the Arrow Lakes section of the Vernon-Slocan Highway and the Shelter Bay to Revelstoke section of the Big Bend Highway. The Britannia Beach to Squamish section of the Garibaldi Highway also was completed. On the Trans-Canada Highway a total of 8.28 miles was reconstructed and, of this, 5.79 were on the Sorrento to Salmon Arm section. Another major project on this highway is a 4-lane section 4.73 miles in length from Merritt Junction to Valleyview. This year 1.51 miles were constructed. A considerable amount of work was accomplished on the Southern Trans- Canada Highway. Mileage completed amounted to 1.62 between Murphy Creek and Trail, 6.33 between Goat River and Kid Creek east of Creston, and 2.26 on the Wardner Bridge approaches. Excellent progress was made on the Syringa to Arrow Dam section of the Rob- son-Broadwater Road, with over 5 miles being completed. On the Cariboo Highway contracts were awarded late in the year on sections from Williams Lake to Mountain House Road and from Dog Prairie to Australian, a total distance of 26.25 miles. Advantage was taken of a mild winter and 7.23 miles were completed. Most of the work on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway was located between Galloway Rapids and McNeill River. A total of 7.60 miles of this 12.37- mile section is completed. Other projects in progress on this highway are the Exchamsiks River Bridge approaches, Clyde Creek revision, Mcintosh Creek revision, and Lamming to McBride section. Prolonged wet weather hindered work on the Stewart-Cassiar Highway. Only 9.81 miles were constructed on the two projects in progress. Construction continued on an extremely difficult 4.3-mile section of the Lougheed Highway from Ruby Creek to Haig. Most of the work is excavation in rock bluffs adjacent to a railway, and 1.94 miles have been completed. Reconstruction of the Patricia Bay Highway between Victoria and Swartz Bay to four lanes is in progress, and 1.95 miles of two contract projects, totalling 9.45 miles in length, are completed. Mileage constructed on other major projects was 8.50 on the Cowichan Lake Highway, 4.49 on the Queen Charlotte City-Skidegate Mission Highway on the Queen Charlotte Islands, 2.60 on the Port Edward Highway, and 1.39 on the Nelson- Nelway Highway.

C 40 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 REPORT OF THE SENIOR PAVING ENGINEER GENERAL Authorizations issued in 1969/70 totalled $18,987,000, which exceeded the previous years' allocation by $3,103,700, and expenditures amounting to $18,570,- 466.30 were $5,712,139.30 above 1968. District's debit notes for day-labour amounted to $2,343,139.95, or 7.9 per cent of the total expenditures. Actual mileage paved with asphalt also was up to a total of 344 miles of two- lane highway. In addition, Paving Branch crews roadmixed approximately 81.1 miles of road and surface treated 111.2 miles. The principal reasons for the increased performance was the large number of continuing projects from the previous year, and the large number of contracts awarded throughout the paving season. While paving volume established a record this fiscal year, performance was curtailed by strikes. The teamsters and labourers strike against member companies of the B.C. Road Builders Association started late in February and continued for nine weeks. Crushing and gravelling operations were severely delayed which caused a subsequent delay in the start of paving on most projects. Further delays resulted from the oil, chemical, and atomic workers strike against the coast refineries, which started on May 23rd, and continued for 22 weeks. Considerable paving time was lost in remote areas supplied by the coast refineries, and delays were encountered throughout most of the Province, because of heavy demand on Interior and Alberta refineries and a general shortage of tanks to haul asphalt. CONTRACT CRUSHING, BASE CONSTRUCTION, DRAINAGE, AND PAVING Seventeen projects were carried over from 1968/69, 16 of which required significant contract field work to complete. Twenty-two contracts were called and 21 awarded this year. One project was for paving the approaches to the British Columbia Hydro Arrow Dam at Casdegar and another was for paving in a Provincial park for the Department of Recreation and Conservation. The paving of service areas and parking lots for various Provincial departments and agencies was included in other paving contracts. Eighteen projects were substantially completed during the year. Twenty projects involving substantial field work and expenditure will be continued into the next fiscal year. An increase of Portland cement-mixed base was recorded this year. This strengthening was carried out on Project 1815, Fort Nelson curb and gutter; Project 1986, Vernon curb and gutter, and Project S-8867, Golden. Unusual working conditions were experienced in Fort Nelson and special measures had to be taken to control and reduce weather damage to newly built sections. These are shown in accompanying photographs. Asphalt deliveries to Projects S-0768, Beaver Cove to Port Hardy, and S-0569, Saltspring Island sections, were made by rail cars mounted on barges which involved special scheduling and unloading problems to minimize tug delays, demurrage on barges and cars, and to facilitate the use of wharves and docks by other regular users. All deliveries for Project S-0768 were made by 21 car barges to Beaver Cove where Canadian Forest Products assisted the Department by providing boom tugs when it was necessary to move barges from the dock. Eighteen car barges for Project S-0569 were unloaded onto the Government wharf at Ganges. Accompanying photographs show barge unloading arrangements. Heavy rainstorm erosion on steep grade, Fort Nelson. Remedial measures to prevent future erosion. Unloading asphalt plant, Saltspring Island. A barge load of cars of asphalt for paving on Saltspring Island. REPORT OF SENIOR PAVING ENGINEER C 43 Tank cars lined up for pumping asphalt into distributor trucks. PULVIMIX AND SURFACE TREATMENT Three day-labour crews under the over-all control and direction of a senior technician were again employed this year. Mixing grade RC1 was used for work with the Pettibone Wood Mixer and the results appear to be effective. Notwithstanding adverse weather conditions throughout much of the Province during the latter half of the paving season, a total of 192.3 miles were surface- treated or roadmixed by Paving Branch crews. It was unfortunate that adverse weather prevented completion of programmed roadmixing and dust-laying between McBride and Tete Jaune lunction, as this is the only remaining section of Highway 16 east of Prince George which does not have some kind of asphalt-stabilized surface. TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT Work continued on trial use of the California travelling profilograph purchased the previous year to develop a satisfactory method of use, and to collect reliable test data on which to base acceptable future contract limits on pavement roughness. Sufficient data appears to have been collected to justify inclusion of numerical limits in asphalt-paving specifications. A literature review was carried out to assess what regulations and specifications could be written and reasonably administered to reduce air pollution from asphalt- paving plants. In later new contracts, special provisions included clauses requiring additional dust-collector systems to reduce air pollution in the vicinity of asphalt- paving plants, and proposals were prepared for revision of plant and equipment requirements on asphalt-paving specifications. A start was made on the collecting of data for system analysis of Paving Branch operations, with a view to facilitating programming of future paving. SAFETY During the course of the year, the Branch qualified for the British Columbia Safety Council's silver-on-gold award for operating a total of 736,313 consecutive C 44 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 man-hours without a lost-time accident. Regrettably, this record was lost in August, 1969, when an employee suffered an accident and was off work for five days. DEPARTMENTAL MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES A conference of Regional Paving Engineers/Superintendents and Senior Project Supervisors was held from November 24 to November 27, 1969, to discuss contract administration and technical problems. Proposals for revisions to asphalt and paving specifications were also discussed. A meeting with asphalt suppliers to British Columbia was held on January 27, 1970. The meetings were attended by senior officials of all the oil companies which supply asphalt to British Columbia, as well as by the Chairman and head buyer of the Purchasing Commission, the Chief Highway Engineer, Chief Planning Engineer, and Senior Materials Engineer, in addition to the Senior Paving Engineer and regional paving officials. A conference was held in Vancouver with the Asphalt Paving Sub-committee of the B.C. Road Builders Association, to discuss proposed revision to specifications with a view to improve quality, control, and administration of paving contracts. The Senior Paving Engineer also attended several other meetings of the Joint Committee on Highways to discuss administrative and technical problems in connection with contract administration of highways in British Columbia. PERSONNEL TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT As usual, annual proficiency examinations were held in March, 1970, following an intensified series of short training courses held at regional centres. By arrangement with the Departmental Training Officer, a paving branch survey course held in Kamloops was heavily attended by personnel from other Branches, mainly Maintenance Branch, to the general benefit of the Department. It is hoped to expand the programme of inter-departmental-training courses in future years. One Paving Branch project supervisor passed the British Columbia Association of Professional Engineers examinations and has gained registration as a professional engineer. One professional engineer accepted employment with the Branch. Regional paving officials and project supervisors attended a two-day lecture sponsored by Pacific Terex, in Vancouver, during December, 1969. This was the first time that many supervisors received detailed information on aggregate dredging, washing, and hydro-classifying which it is hoped will be beneficial for future operations. An additional benefit to this session was the opportunity to meet other Departmental personnel. Problems of common interest were discussed and better appreciation gained on each other's point of view. RECRUITMENT, RESIGNATIONS, AND TRANSFERS Mr. P. Barnes, P.Eng., the Regional Paving Engineer at Nelson, was successful in a competition for appointment as Regional Materials Engineer at Nelson. After fourteen years service in the Paving Branch, Mr. J. W. G. Kerr, P.Eng., relinquished the appointment of Senior Paving Engineer on March 31, 1970, to assume the appointment of Senior Materials Engineer.

Particulars of these structures are given in the appended tabulations. During the year 12 bridges on the North Thompson Highway were opened to traffic leaving only three detours on the newly reconstructed portion of this highway. Of these structures, four are crossings of the North Thompson River, and two are overhead crossings of the Canadian National Railways, the two major obstacles to highway construction on this route The Northern Trans-Provincial Highway has had bridge construction in progress at various points throughout its length. Near its western terminus, 35 miles from Prince Rupert, the substructure for a new crossing of the Khyex River has been completed. Four smaller structures were completed near Terrace and major crossings of the Kitseguecla River and the Bulkley River near Smithers were opened to traffic in the fall of 1969. Bridges across the Willow and Bowron Rivers east of Prince George incorporate corrosion resistant, unpainted steelwork. Farther east, 11 bridges remain under construction; of these, two are crossings of the upper Fraser River and the most easterly, Rockingham Creek Bridge, is only three miles from the Alberta boundary and Yellowhead Pass. Four new bridges, a temporary bridge, and new ferries with associated landings at Needles and Arrowhead were essential links completed on the Revelstoke- Nakusp Highway overlooking the Arrow Lakes Reservoir. Of these new bridges the most picturesque is over Mulvehill Creek, a continuous steel girder bridge, supported on inclined steel bents, and spanning a rocky gorge. The widening of the George S. Pearson Bridge at Nanaimo was completed in October and this improvement has eliminated the traffic congestion at the north side of the city. Work is continuing on the two major crossings of the Fraser River. The bridge at Mission will be 3,695 feet long; the Knight Street Bridge, incorporates three structures, totalling some 4,800 feet.

REPORT OF SENIOR TRAFFIC ENGINEER C 81 REPORT OF THE SENIOR TRAFFIC ENGINEER During the past fiscal year the Traffic Branch continued to co-operate with individuals and organizations in the allied fields of traffic safety, community planning, standardization of traffic control devices, and traffic operations. Activity continued to grow and again exceeded that of the previous year owing to the increasing number of mo tor-vehicles using British Columbia highways. The Senior Traffic Engineer represented the Department on the British Columbia Safety Council, the St. John Ambulance Highway First Aid Post Committee, the Canadian Good Roads Association Council on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada and the Canadian Good Roads Association Committee on Traffic Operations. Short duration traffic counts were again taken with automatic equipment at approximately 800 locations throughout the Province where traffic is counted annually. Traffic volumes are now being recorded continuously at 21 different locations. At six of these locations the two directions of traffic movement are recorded separately. A considerable number of counts were taken for special purposes, such as railway-crossing studies, intersection studies, roadside interview and licence-plate origin-destination surveys. Punch tape traffic counters are gradually being acquired so that calculation of traffic count information can be done with data-processing equipment. A translator was acquired for converting information on punched tapes to computer cards. The change-over to this new equipment caused some delays in correlation of information. Summer daily traffic volumes for 1969 are currently running about 38,000 vehicles on the Port Mann Bridge, 50,000 vehicles on the Pattullo Bridge, 51,000 vehicles on the First Narrows Bridge, 65,000 vehicles on the Oak Street Bridge, 37,000 vehicles in the George Massey Tunnel, and 13,000 vehicles on the Okanagan Lake Bridge. Data from the permanent count stations showed that traffic for 1969 increased over 1968 totals by approximately 4 per cent in the Northern Interior, lOVi per cent in the Southern Interior, and 10 per cent in the Fraser Valley and 9Vi per cent on Vancouver Island. Assistance was given to the Planning Branch in carrying out both licence- plate and roadside interview origin-destination surveys in the Fraser Valley, in the Port Coquitlam, and Coquitlam areas. Numerous intersection problems were investigated during the year. Many manual vehicle turning-movement counts were taken and designs prepared for improvements at approximately 50 intersections. Improvements such as widening, channelization, signing, lighting, and signal revisions were carried out at many of these intersections to give greater capacity, to reduce hazards and delay, and to facilitate the flow of traffic. Design work was done on turning requirements for large truck units and on use of compound curves at main intersections. Numerous highway design plans were reviewed to ensure that intersections and interchanges would function with as few operational and capacity problems as possible. Traffic signals were designed and installed at 12 intersections throughout the Province. Approximately 500 street-lighting luminaires were installed at highway intersections and interchanges. A large amount of electrical design work was C 82 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 carried out in connection with construction of new ferry terminals and reconstruction of existing ones. Three electrical technicians were fully occupied with equipment preparation and maintenance in the Victoria electrical shop and with installation and maintenance of traffic information and control electrical installations widely spread throughout the Province. Ten railway grade-crossings were signalized in co-operation with the Federal Railway Transport Committee and the railways. The Department paid for signals at six level-crossings on the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. The British Columbia Hydro Authority Railway installed signals at all six locations where their Roberts Bank line crossed Provincial highways. Changing conditions necessitated the review of many speed limits. The opinion of the police forces responsible was obtained in many cases and, where necessary, the actual travel speeds were checked by means of a radar speed meter. Reports of fatal accidents which occurred in the period November 1, 1968, to October 31, 1969, were reviewed in detail and significant characteristics tabulated. Portions of the numbered-highway system and major unnumbered highways, which have been altered in any way in the past few years, were checked with a ball bank indicator and advisory speed signing revised as necessary to ensure uniformity of application of this type of signing. J. H. Harding, Senior Traffic Engineer. REPORT OF CHIEF PLANNING ENGINEER C 83 REPORT OF THE CHIEF PLANNING ENGINEER A Planning Section was formed in October, 1969, to assist in the determination and control of the highway programme in a more comprehensive manner. Mr. M. G. Elston transferred from North Vancouver where he was the Regional Highway Engineer to direct the activities of the small staff as Senior Planning Engineer. During the calendar year 1969 a total of 6,494 tentative and final subdivision applications were handled, 1,721 of which were adjacent to controlled-access highways. There were 1,021 permits issued for entrances on controlled-access highways, 2,588 for entrances on non-controlled-access highways, and 3,672 for other works on Crown lands. Again there was an increase over the previous year in the number of subdivisions handled and the number of permits issued, it being 3 per cent for the former and 33 per cent for the latter. Soil surveys were conducted on 400 miles of new locations of highways. Foundation investigations were made at 22 bridge sites and 13 investigations were made of landslides and foundation failures in fills. PLANNING BRANCH M. G. Elston, Senior Planning Engineer The Branch was established in October, 1969, with a small staff. The objectives of the Branch are to assess transportation needs, determine optimum solutions, and schedule design and construction activities using engineering systems concepts. Work is well under way on a fundamental revision of the highway inventory. This system is designed and programmed and data collection about half complete. A scheduling system, municipal based information system, and a pavement-management system have been commenced. They are still in the fundamental early stages. Several traffic and transportation study reports by other agencies were reviewed and analysed to provide aid to decision making by the Executive. A short range study of the Port Coquitlam-Port Moody-Coquitlam area was instigated and presently is 50 per cent complete. Programmes and approaches devised for this study will be of great use in subsequent work. The Branch representatives serve on the Regional District Committees and provide special assistance with reference to transportation problems. Routine processing of subdivisions, driveway permits, rezoning applications, zoning by-laws, etc., was undertaken and work was done toward a revised subdivision processing procedure intended to ease the path of the first-time subdivider and keep processing time to a minimum. MATERIALS TESTING BRANCH E. E. Readshaw, Senior Materials Engineer The Materials Testing Branch functions mainly in the capacity of an advisory engineering group to the various design and construction sections in the Department. The work involves foundation investigations for roads and structures, slope stability problems in rock and soils, investigation of gravel resources, pavement thickness design and evaluations, spring-load restriction determinations, concrete bridge-deck restoration, materials testing and inspection, and specialized research. C 84 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 Bridge Foundations Twenty-two bridge sites have been investigated so far this year. The most interesting were the two overpasses for the Roberts Bank railway at Highways 99 and 15. These sites consist of deep layers of very soft clay which are unable to support an embankment of more than 20 feet without special foundation treatment. One solution is use of vertical sand drains which allow the excess water in the clay to be squeezed out under the weight of the fill. As this occurs the strength of the clay increases. This technique has been used before in British Columbia but it has been found that, to be successful, the method of installing the sand drains has to be such as to prevent any disturbance of the clay during their installation. Another technique for stabilizing these soils consists of applying an electric current to a series of steel rods and pipes driven into the ground. The current causes water in the soil to flow from positively charged rods to negatively charged pipes. As the excess water is removed from the pipes, the soil is in effect dried and strengthened. This was done successfully in Norway under similar conditions to those at the Roberts Bank bridge-sites but a test section near these sites indicated that the procedure here would be too costly to constitute a practical solution. Landslides Thirteen new problems involving either landslides in the natural ground or foundation failures in fills have been worked on this year. In addition some 16 previous problems are under observation. One of the most unusual occurred on the new construction near Grindrod where, during the construction of a fill over a marsh containing white marl, the original ground failed suddenly. The sliding material travelled at high speed some 1,500 feet down the flat slope. No one was injured and there was little property damage. The cause of the slide was the generation of high-pore water pressures in the marl set up by the weight of the fill material which in effect caused the fill to " float" on a very thin layer of liquid mud. Remedial measures consisted of drilling a series of relief wells at the toe of the fill and continuing construction at a slow rate to allow the water to drain away from under the fill. The 30-foot fill was completed in three months without further incident and now is stable. Rock Slope Instabilities Problems of rock slope instability have arisen in many areas where the effects of weathering over a period of 10 or more years have loosened the rock faces. On the Garibaldi Highway a series of rock-falls prompted a geological study of the over-all stability of the cuts. The study showed that a combination of scaling, shotcreting, bolting, and blasting down weak sections would have to be undertaken, and this work has been proceeding during the fall. An unstable area of rock slope on the Trans-Canada Highway near Alexandria in the Fraser Canyon was treated by shotcreting. Approximately 12,000 square feet of rock face consisting of loose blocks of granodiorite was covered with an average of 3 inches of pressure-sprayed concrete. Similar surface treatment of rock faces in the past has completely prevented weathering and rock-falls over periods of up to 8 years. Rockbolting of unstable rock slopes at Porteau on the Garibaldi Highway has also been carried out. This face of massive granodiorite lies on bedding planes dipping from 30° to 60° toward the road and during wet weather the slight increase in lubrication caused by the seeping drainage water is often enough to cause large REPORT OF CHIEF PLANNING ENGINEER C 85 blocks to fall. The installation of drainage holes has often tapped large flows of water from the interior of this rock mass with noticeable drying effects at the outer face. At other unstable areas movement gauges attached to warning signals are being used to safeguard the public. Soil Surveys Exploration work has continued on 400 miles of new locations. Drilling with various types of equipment, test-pits with bulldozers and backhoes, and the use of seismic methods are all used to explore and identify the various types of soil likely to be encountered during construction. The purpose is to recognize problems such as slides, seepage areas, etc., and remedy these problems rather than to expend large amounts of money in future road upkeep. The recording of the drill, testing, and computational results, plus pavement thickness onto a standardized profile has been standardized and now is an extremely valuable aid to contract drawing. The regional auger-drill crews and diamond-drill crews are a valuable asset in this work because of their specialized knowledge and capability in dealing with difficult situations. Gravel Exploration The search for gravel for use in road bases and for concrete has continued, all four Regional laboratories devoting a large part of their time to this activity. To date some 100 gravel pits have been investigated. In the Prince Rupert area, gravel is extremely scarce and much effort has been expended to locate a source in the Khyex River Valley. No access, except the river, was available so the drills and bulldozers had to be taken in by barge at high tide. A related problem is the prediction of gravel quality before opening up a pit. Since the use dictates the required quality, a variety of detailed test procedures are necessary on a statistical sample from all proposed pits. Also, work is progressing in assessing the suitability of crushed rock for road building in areas where solid-rock excavation to grade-line is necessary. Research In addition to the electro-osmosis test described previously, efforts are being continued to discover the causes of cracking of asphalt pavement in cold weather. Certain types of asphalt at low temperatures are too stiff to relieve the stresses caused by contraction and therefore they break, forming a crack. The laboratory investigation is measuring the characteristics of asphaltic-concrete beams sawn from roads both where cracking has and has not occurred. This will eventually enable specifications to be written so that the correct type of asphalt is used to avoid cold- temperature cracking. Field development is continuing, of equipment, to predict areas of rock instability by measuring the internal noise caused by rock movement. Detailed work into cause and effect of road roughness is continuing with the development of a mechanical road-roughness rater to complement the present human-panel method. Work has started into the details of road ice prevention in avalanche sheds by use of electrical heating cables embedded in the road surface. The lessening of skidding accidents by proper surface-texturing on high-speed roads is another problem with which this Branch has become involved. Complementing this work is the need to formulate suitable surfacings for steel foot-bridge decks and metal bridges. C 86 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 Concrete The programme of repairing deteriorated concrete bridge-deck surfaces by adding a thin concrete overlay has continued this year. Mosquito Creek Bridge, Capilano Creek Bridge, and Lynn Creek Bridge on the Trans-Canada Highway were all resurfaced this summer. The East and West Pine Bridges on the John Hart-Peace River Highway were also resurfaced and, as these are only 20 feet wide, traffic had to be rerouted part of the time. A total of 41 bridges, comprising 600,000 square feet of deck, have been resurfaced since 1964. There are 350 concrete-deck bridges in the Province. The continuing programme of coring concrete resurfaced bridge-decks for effectiveness of bonding was completed on 13 bridges on Vancouver Island and five on the Lower Mainland. In the general area of acceptance testing there have been the following developments:— (a) Development of a 2-day rapidly cured strength test to replace the 28-day strength test. (b) The concrete section of the General Highways Specification has been updated and many redundant sections have been eliminated, particularly in the prestressed concrete section. (c) Completely new specifications have been written for " No Post " guardrails. (d) Normal acceptance testing for aggregates, cements, mixes, and strength has continued as in past years. The Lions Gate Bridge main deck was resurfaced with coal-tar epoxy resin and quartz sand last summer. Previous experiences and mechanized application of the material reduced the working-time to nine days this year compared with about four weeks on previous occasions. The main problems were with weather and traffic. The epoxy requires bridge-deck temperatures of 70° F. to cure properly in one working-shift. July was chosen as having the highest probability of days exceeding 70° F. Cleaning the deck of dirt and oil is critical in obtaining a proper bond to the deck. This operation of washing with detergents at high pressure and sandblasting constitutes a further limit to the speed of the job even though work continues through the night. The epoxy itself can only be applied during the day because of cure-temperature requirement. Pavement Evaluation This work involves the assessment of existing surfaced roads, the gravel thickness and quality for new roads to be built, and continuous evaluation of the reasons why roads last a long time. The drilling of some 150 spring load-restriction sections is nearly completed so that an as-constructed statistical sample of past pavement thickness can be used to determine the reasons for longevity of asphaltic roads. The pavement evaluation projects in the four highway regions were as follows: 16 projects involving 75 miles in Region 1; six projects involving 49 miles in Region 2; 14 projects in Region 3 involving 49 miles; and 11 projects involving 140 miles in Region 4. Additionally, up to eight Benkelman beam crews were involved at one time last spring and this year in minimizing the length and time of road load restriction throughout the entire Province. The majority of the paved highways in British Columbia were evaluated for the amount of temperature cracking present to determine the extent and the worst areas of cracking. The road-roughness rating was again performed last fall as a check on present road quality. These data were added to the report on road roughness in British Columbia for the last five years. The use of the computer facilities for pavement evaluation has proven invaluable for rapid-information processing, data storage, and preparation of reports. report of chief planning engineer Personnel C 87 As always the calibre of work is directly related to the amount and quality of both theoretical and practical training of the staff. Five Engineers-in-Training have been given intensive training in the various facets of material testing work. An unusual number of this Branch's staff has been transferred, promoted, or has resigned this past year, causing problems in meeting deadlines. The junior staff are being given on-job training while the senior staff have attended night courses, seminars, conventions, and special lectures.

REPORT OF GENERAL MANAGER OF FERRIES C 89 REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER, RRITISH COLUMBIA FERRIES DIVISION The past year has seen an over-all growth in the movement of passengers and vehicles. Routes which continue to show unprecedented rates of increase were Vancouver Island to Gulf Islands, Mainland to Gulf Islands, Howe Sound, and Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay. Steps were taken to deal with the additional traffic by the very successful jum- boizing of the M.V. Queen of Esquimalt. Because of the success of the lengthening, the M.V. Queen of Victoria is now being lengthened. The necessary alterations to berthing facilities and vehicle-passenger accommodation, both at Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen terminals is presently under way and will be completed prior to the 1970 tourist season. The increased traffic on the Mainland to Gulf Islands gave the newly remodelled M.V. Sechelt Queen and the M.V. Queen of Sidney, operating as a supplementary ship both on the Gulf Islands to Mainland and Vancouver Island service, many capacity loads. It is planned to extend the operating schedule of the M.V. Queen of Sidney for the coming season. Additional service on the Jervis Inlet crossing was also provided by the M.V. Pender Queen. The M.V. Queen of the Islands was operated through the summer months on the Comox to Westview crossing by the Department of Highways. Two ferries were purchased by this Division from Coast Ferries Ltd., and commenced Government service June 15, 1969, on routes established by the owners, namely—Kelsey Bay to Beaver Cove, Alert Bay and Sointula, and also between Brentwood Bay and Mill Bay. A reduction in rates instituted by the Government on the Kelsey Bay route brought about a greatly increased movement of traffic in this area. The privilege of Gulf Islands commuter tickets brought about savings on the Brentwood Bay to Mill Bay service. A new water taxi, M.V. Dogwood Princess, was put into service to replace the Sea Wolf V which serves passengers between Langdale, Keats, and Gambier Islands. With the additional purchase, the Ferries Division now operates 23 ferries on 12 different routes having some 25 different ports of call. This gives a total trip- carrying capacity of 13,235 passengers and 2,060 vehicles. M.V. QUEEN OF ESQUIMALT The M.V. Queen of Esquimalt is the first king-sized ship in the British Columbia Ferries fleet. The snub-nosed blue and white craft, a familiar sight with her sister vessels as they ply Gulf of Georgia waters between Vancouver Island and the Mainland, has been lengthened to almost double her original car capacity and provides dining and lounge facilities that makes her one of the most comfortable car ferries afloat. The " stretching " of the M.V. Queen of Esquimalt took place at Burrard Drydock in North Vancouver. The vessel's length has been increased by 84 ft. to 426 ft. by cutting her in half and adding a section midships. Auto-carrying capacity has been increased to 192 full-sized cars compared with the 110 cars that she originally carried. C 90 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 A deluxe restaurant, seating 48 persons, has been added, while a new self- service cafeteria seats 190 persons compared with 144 in the former restaurant. Floors are carpeted and the decor is excitingly contemporary with panelled walls, soft lights and subdued colour tones. The vessel now provides the utmost in comfort for our passengers and at the same time maintains the efficiency of operation which has given British Columbia Ferries the reputation of being one of the world's best transportation services. The enlarging of the M.V. Queen of Esquimalt has been a delicate operation performed with surgical skill by craftsmen at Burrard Drydock. The ferry was literally sliced in two with oxy-acetylene torches and then welded together again after the midship section was put into place. Ships have been enlarged this way in other parts of the world, but this was something new for British Columbia Ferries. The contract for the $2.2 million job was awarded January 23, 1969, and Burrard Drydock immediately set to work prefabricating the middle section in one of the huge drydocks at the shipyard. The section was over five stories high, including engine-room space, two car decks, promenade, and sun decks. The M.V. Queen of Esquimalt arrived at the shipyard February 27th to begin preparations for her " operation." The existing galley and restaurant were stripped, and hundreds of pipes and electrical wires had to be cut and sealed off. The actual cutting operation also got under way as welders with torches sliced through the superstructure down as far as the hull. On April 11th the drydock was emptied and two welders began the extremely delicate job of slicing through the 7/x6-m. plating of the ship's hull. The cut was made just forward of a watertight bulkhead to ensure that the stern section of the ship would float. Once the cut was finished, late on April 11th, the drydock was flooded. Some of the compartments of the forward section of the ferry were also flooded to ensure that it would not float, but stay in place in preparation for the joining-up of the centre section. As the drydock filled up, the stern section of the ship floated free and was towed off. The centre section was floated into place and the dock drained and the welding operation begun. The stern section of the vessel was then floated back into place April 19th and welded to the new stretch hull. The stretching of the ferry does not mean that the vessel's speed will be affected. A British firm produced a scale model of the lengthened ferry and tested it in a specially constructed tank. These tests showed that up to 18.5 knots, which is the maximum speed of this vessel, there was no significant increase in horsepower requirements. The new section adds to the buoyancy of the hull and also improves the length- width ratio, giving the hull greater efficiency in the water. 110 Cars Platform Deck 132 Cars MV "QUEEN OF ESQUIMALT" AS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED New Dining Room 192 Cars PLATFORM DECKS ADDED IN 1967 MV "QUEEN OF ESQUIMALT" WITH NEW 84' MID-SHIPS ADDITION M.V.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF FERRIES C 93 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF FERRIES Forty-one ferry routes were operated under the jurisdiction of the Department of Highways during the 1969/70 fiscal year. This figure includes six subsidized operations. TRAFFIC Traffic was slightly down from the previous year; 1,645,983 vehicles and 4,300,633 passengers having been carried. The drop in traffic is attributed to the reductions at the Castlegar and Needles ferries. MAINTENANCE All ferries were inspected during the year and all repair work was accomplished with a minimum of inconvenience to the public. NEW CONSTRUCTION AND ALTERATION Courtenay District.—A new ferry was constructed and is now operating on the Campbell River to Quadra Island route. This vessel replaced the earlier Quadra Queen which has been updated and placed on a new route between Quadra Island and Cortes Island. The vessel, Queen of the Islands, was operated between Comox and Powell River in conjunction with the Comox Queen for three months of the summer season. McKenzie District.—A new ferry was constructed and replaced the former subsidized vessel on the route between Powell River and Texada Island. New Denver District.—A new ferry was placed on the Needles to Fauquier crossing on the Lower Arrow Lake, replacing the original cable ferry. Prince George District.—The Hansard ferry service was discontinued. Revelstoke District.—A new ferry was placed in operation between Shelter Bay and Galena Bay. This route eliminated the need for the 12 Mile, 24 Mile, and Upper Arrow Lake ferries. Subsidized Ferries.—The Mill Bay ferry was taken over by the British Columbia Ferry Division. The Texada Island ferry was replaced by a new vessel. A new service was commenced across Skidegate Channel in the Queen Charlotte Islands.

For this reason demands on winter maintenance requirements were considerably reduced, reflecting in smaller expenditures on snow removal, sanding, and salting. However the usual high standard of maintenance was upheld throughout the season on all main roads. Due to the lighter snowfalls recorded, and also to a protracted spring run-off period, the number of minor wash-outs and slides declined somewhat over previous years. A wash-out of major proportions did occur when Strachan Creek Bridge near Squamish was swept away during a September flood. FERRIES During the year two new 28-car free ferries, the M.V. Galena and the M.V. Needles, were put into operation, replacing the old cable ferry at Needles and the M.V. Lardeau. A unique feature of both these ferries is the Voith-Schneider propulsion system which allows free movement in any desired direction, thereby eliminating most wind problems while docking. DAY LABOUR Improvement of secondary roads continued under the day-labour programme, with a total expenditure of $19,255,506. ROADSIDE DEVELOPMENT During the year all phases of roadside development continued in a satisfactory manner. Two seeding contracts were completed for a cost of $118,170. One covered 1,511 acres on Highway 23, north of Revelstoke, and the remaining 541 acres completed a contract commenced last year on Highway 16, east of Prince George. Departmental hydro-seeding crews seeded 1,187 acres and refertilized 2,205 acres in Regions 1, 2, and 3, for a cost of $244,484. The roadside rest area programme continued, with many new sites chosen and additional roadside table sites developed. The production of the concrete picnic tables at Vernon was continued, as was the manufacture of fibreglass toilet stools and fibreglass litter-barrel tops. The combined cost of this project amounted to $28,770. A successful weed- and brush-spraying programme was continued and a start was made in training crews in preparation for the licensing of applicators by the Department of Agriculture. TRAINING PROGRAMMES The foreman-training programme inaugurated in December, 1968, has continued, with a total of 150 of our road-foremen attending. Nearly 100 per cent of our equipment operators completed the Defensive-driving Course instructed by specially trained Departmental personnel. A number of engineering technicians, engineering aides, and operators attended short courses in weed and brush control, surveying, asphalts, and management. D. F. Martin, Senior Maintenance Engineer. C 96 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 REGIONAL REPORTS REGION 1 (D. D. Godfrey, Regional Highway Engineer, North Vancouver) Saanich, Nanaimo, Courtenay, North Vancouver, New Westminster, and Chilliwack Highway Districts Saanich District Roads Maintenance.—A regular garbage pick-up and litter patrol was carried out on trunk highways for roadside beautification and control of environmental pollution. This was made necessary by the increased traffic volume and the greater use of roadside rest areas. Heavy urban development in the Langford-Colwood area created constant problems with respect to drainage, access, and services. A brushing programme was carried out on the Trans-Canada Highway. The number of subdivisions increased greatly during the year and required proportionately more man-hours to process them. Bituminous Surfacing.—A major programme of roadmix surfacing was carried out in the Langford-Metchosin area. Emphasis was placed on the connector roads but some of the more local streets were paved also. Reconstruction.—Several major day-labour projects were completed during the year. The 4.5-mile portion of the Patricia Bay Highway from Beaver Lake to Island View Road was widened to three lanes to facilitate increasing traffic volumes from the Swartz Bay Ferry and a 1.3-mile portion of the same highway was widened to four lanes to handle heavy urban traffic volumes between the Trans-Canada Highway and Rogers Avenue. A programme of ditching, widening, and elimination of old wooden box culverts was carried out on the first 11 miles of the West Coast Road past Jordan River in preparation for paving. About 3 miles of the Sooke Road was widened and ditched. The work included a large amount of rock drilling and blasting, most of the roadway cuts being in solid rock. The reconstruction of the Shawnigan Lake Road along the east side of Shawnigan Lake was partially completed. Very little work had been done on this portion of the road since it was part of the original Victoria-Nanaimo Highway. Snow Removal.—A mild winter with far less than average rainfall and snowfall was enjoyed by all our crews. Bridges No bridges were constructed or reconstructed during the year. A Bailey bridge was placed on the Black Creek Bridge deck so that this bridge could remain in service until it is replaced with a culvert. The old Howe truss bridge over the Sooke River was demolished. The Harris Cove Bridge at Port Renfrew was shortened several hundred feet by the construction of a causeway. REGIONAL REPORTS C 97 Buildings Salt sheds were constructed at the Sooke, Cobble Hill, and Sidney maintenance yards. An equipment shed is presently under construction at the Sooke yard. Nanaimo District Roads A major paving programme was carried out on each of the Gulf Islands and paving works completed in each of the Improvement and Water Districts on Vancouver Island. During these improvements, we endeavoured to provide width for yellow edge-line walkways where the construction was in heavily built-up areas. The complete right-of-way of the Trans-Canada Highway south of Duncan for a distance of 5 miles was reshaped, the shoulders being widened, gravelled, and the banks seeded to grass. A similar programme was undertaken on the northern approaches to the City of Nanaimo on the Island Highway. Reconstruction and paving was undertaken on the Alberni-Tofino Highway, with only 17 miles now remaining in gravel. Bridges A number of bridges on the Alberni-Tofino Highway were completely rebuilt prior to a major paving of this route. Normal maintenance was carried out on other bridges with special work of major maintenance on Cowichan Station and Tennis Court Bridges in the Duncan area. Ferries Normal service was maintained on the Thetis Island and Gabriola Island ferry runs. Buildings New equipment and storage sheds were constructed at Alberni, Ucluelet, and Nanaimo. Three new salt-storage sheds located at Ucluelet, Alberni-Tofino Highway, and Cassidy. Courtenay District Roads Normal maintenance was carried out on all roads. As delivery of asphalt was restricted due to labour problems, oiling of roads for dust control and some local paving were not as extensive as intended. A mild winter with less than average snowfall permitted road improvements to be made all winter. Day Labour North Area:— Jeune Landing Access: Construction of a new section of road near Jeune Landing was 90 per cent completed and upgrading of an existing logging-road between Jeune Landing and Port Hardy to Port McNeill Road was 60 per cent completed. When completed, this will give residents of Port Alice road access that will not conflict with logging trucks. C 98 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 Winter Harbour: Access from W. Moores Logging Co. camp to Winter Harbour townsite was completed. This now gives road access, via private logging-roads, to Holberg. Construction of a road through the townsite to Federal wharf in Winter Harbour was started and rough grading completed. Coal Harbour Road: Minor improvements were made on Coal Harbour Road. Courtenay and Campbell River Area:— Numerous side roads were oiled and the following roads were paved either partly or on their entire length: Elizabeth, Lutod, Delvecchio, Macauley, Bates, Endall, Aldergrove, Glacier Drive. Recapping was carried out on Knight, Little River, and Buttle Lake Roads. Ditching on the Island Highway, Courtenay north to Oyster River, was completed and some shouldering was finished. Considerable improvements were made to Forbidden Plateau Road. Parksville Area:— Oil was placed on numerous roads to eliminate dust. Paving was carried out on Cortes, Flamingo, Seacroft, Kincade, and Pratt Roads and additional paving was carried out within Dolphin Subdivision. A truck lane was constructed and paved on the Nanoose Hill. Bridges Maintenance was carried out on bridges as required throughout the area. Chalet Bridge was constructed and Lamonte Bridge 80 on Coal Harbour Road was given a new deck system. Steel repairs were made to Englishman's River Bridge. Complete renewal of deck system on Sacht's Bridge in Sayward Valley was partly completed. Ferries Service was continued by the following vessels: Sointula Queen between Soin- tula, Alert Bay, and Port McNeill; Quadra Queen between Campbell River and Quadra Island; Comox Queen between Little River and Westbank; Catherine Graham between Buckley Bay and Denman Island. Subsidized ferries operated to Hornby Island and Lasqueti Island. Additional vessels were added to Litde River to Westview and Denman Island service, during tourist season. Buildings A new three-bay equipment shed was constructed in Gold River. An additional bay on the Campbell River equipment shed was completed. A new oil house was constructed in the Courtenay yard. A foreman's office and crew assembly building was constructed in the Parksville yard. North Vancouver District Roads Maintenance.—Roads were maintained in generally good condition throughout the year. Construction.—The Squamish to Pemberton section of Highway 99 has been improved by adding shoulders and widening rock cuts. The 18-mile section between Mons and Pemberton was widened and base strengthened in preparation for pavement. REGIONAL REPORTS C 99 One and one-half miles of construction was completed on the west side Alta Lake Road. A large rip-rapping programme was carried out on the Upper Squamish River. Many small day-labour projects were completed, particularly in the Powell River, Pender Harbour, Gibsons, and Bowen Island areas. Paving.—Ten miles of roadmix pavement was laid at Pender Harbour, Powell River, and Gibsons areas. Snow Removal.—All roads were kept open at all times with very little difficulty being experienced by the travelling public. Bridges Adequate maintenance was carried out on all bridges. Major repair work was undertaken on the Red Bridge on the Pemberton Portage Road when the centre pier was washed out. Major repair work was undertaken on the Newman Creek Bridge and a Bailey bridge was erected at Strachan 2 as a result of high water and debris. Soo River and Rutherford Creek Bridges on Highway 99 between Mons and Pemberton were rebuilt. Rocky, Alfa, Widow, and Whistler Creek Bridges on Highway 99 between Garibaldi and Alta Lake were eliminated and replaced by culverts. A start was made on the construction of the approaches to the Lois River Bridge on Highway 101, Power River. Buildings A start was made on enlarging the North Vancouver shop by adding two bays. Also six additional bays on the equipment shed, with foremen's offices, washrooms, and lunchroom facilities were completed. Miscellaneous Major scaling and rock stabilization programme has been carried out on Highway 99 between Horseshoe Bay and Britannia. New Westminster District Roads Maintenance.—The highways were again maintained to the standard needed for heavy traffic volumes. This included an extensive crack-filling programme on the paved surfaces. Soil sterilent was applied around the guard-rails and signposts and also along the gravel shoulders of the Trans-Canada Freeway and Vancouver- Blaine Throughway. Grass cutting was a major maintenance item. Bunker B oil dust layer was applied in early summer to most of the gravel side roads. The experimental planting programme was continued at Stormont Interchange and also the landscaping at Campbell River Interchange. Cost of maintenance of all the signs, delineators, and cats-eyes in this district increased considerably. Construction.—In the Bedwell Bay and Belcarra Park area the entrance to Turtle Head was completed and the construction of subdivision roads in the Coombs area was started. Work was completed on Marine Avenue. An intersection widening at Shaughnessy Street and Lougheed Highway, including curb and gutter and lighting, was completed. Also the widening, resurfacing, C 100 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 and lighting project was completed on the Lougheed Highway between North Road and the extension of Austin Road in Burnaby. In this project a raised median was included; also raised medians have been built on the Lougheed Highway between Boundary Road and Willingdon Avenue. Several railway crossings were built for the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority railway on the arterial highways which the railway crossed to serve the Robert's Bank development. Construction was started on four-laning the Lougheed Highway from Cape Horn Interchange to Pitt River Road passing Riverview Hospital. As most of the area consists of peat, the roadbed will be preconsolidated. Traffic signals were installed at Lougheed Highway and Austin Road, Fraser Highway and Nichol Street, and an improved system of signals was installed at Lougheed Highway and North Road and Lougheed Highway and Shaughnessy Street. Intersection widening was carried out at King George VI Highway and Johnston Road, Lougheed Highway and Barnet Highway, Fry's Corner on the Fraser Highway at Pacific Highway, and was started at Tsawwassen Highway and Imperial Road, and at Barnet Highway and Dewdney Trunk Road. Johnston Road, south of Johnston Road Interchange for the Trans-Canada Freeway, was widened to four lanes to tie into a widening of the Municipality of Surrey's section of Johnston Road. Another mile of the Aldergrove-Bellingham Highway was strengthened and recapped, including paved shoulders. Snow Removal.—The snowfall was light this year and thus, instead of snow- plowing at the beginning of 1970, we were able to do ditching and shouldering work. Bridges Normal maintenance and repairs were carried out on all the bridges and ferry landings in the district. A 160-foot span Bailey bridge was floated by barge into the gap left after a towboat ran into one of the Howe trusses on the Canoe Pass Bridge. Our bridge crew installed three Bailey bridges for the North Vancouver District. Redecking and widening of the landings at Albion Ferry were started. A pedestrian glulam bridge was built at First Avenue in loco Townsite. Ferries Albion ferry and Barnston Island ferry were busier with increased traffic. One resident of Barnston Island decided to stop the ferry operating for six hours on two separate occasions with the aid of a rifle. Safety New Westminster District won the regional safety award for 1969. The number of vehicle accidents was higher than last year. Chilliwack District Roads Maintenance.—All roads were well maintained throughout the year. Mowers operated continuously during the growing season, with particular attention to Highway 401. Shoulders and gravel medians were sprayed with soil sterilant. Brushkill REGIONAL REPORTS C 101 was used on Highway 401 and main roads. Salt and calcium were used to control dust on gravel roads. Construction.—Reconstruction of 0.5 mile of Sumas Mountain Road and 0.5 mile of Sylvester Road was completed. On Paulsen Road 1.07 miles near Post Creek were constructed in connection with a subdivision for the Department of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources. Gravelling was carried out on 9.85 miles of Columbia Valley roads. Bituminous Surfacing.—Extensive pavement patching was carried on throughout the district, particularly on trunk and main highways. Recap plantmix paving was carried out on 1 mile on Trans-Canada Highway, 0.5 mile on Chilliwack Lake Road, 1.5 miles on Iverson Road, 0.19 mile on Sylvester Road, 0.47 mile on Hodgkins Road, 0.5 mile on Malcolm Road, 0.25 mile on Agassiz-Rosedale Highway and 0.1 mile on Abbotsford-Mission Highway. Recap roadmix paving was laid on 1.4 miles on Shook Road and the shoulders on 1.4 miles of Yale Road west were paved. Snow Removal.—Snowfall was moderate, and all roads were kept open. Crews operated in shifts during winter months, and roads received good coverage. Bridges Bridges were generally maintained in good condition. Cyr Bridge, a 120-foot pile-trestle treated-timber bridge was constructed over Hatzic Slough on Farms Road. Meason Bridge, a 120-foot pile-trestle treated-timber bridge, was constructed also over Hatzic Slough on Farms Road. Two bridges, Gourley 1 and Gourley 2, were constructed over Chilqua Slough on Catherwood Road, both 18-foot pile- trestle treated-timber bridges. Pretty Bridge, a 35-foot pile-trestle treated-timber bridge, was constructed over Pretty Creek on Morris Valley Road. Wilbank Creek Bridge on the Abbotsford-Mission Highway was replaced by a culvert and fill. Buildings A 31.5-foot by 30.2-foot two-bay equipment shed was constructed in Agassiz yard. A 78.5-foot by 30.2-foot five-bay equipment shed was constructed in Rosedale yard, and additional heating was installed in the main building. A 125.6-foot by 30.2-foot building with six equipment bays and two heated storage rooms was constructed in the Abbotsford yard. A salt- and sand-storage shed was erected in the Deroche gravel pit, and two buildings were moved from the right-of-way of the Mission Bridge to the Deroche gravel pit. Bridge Maintenance District Maintenance Routine maintenance was carried out on roads and bridges consistent with the high volume of traffic. Grounds maintenance was carried out on all facilities. Considerable maintenance was carried out for British Columbia Ferries Division on docks, wharves, and vehicles. Numerous repairs were completed on installations such as hand-rails, lighting standards, traffic signs and guard-rails which were damaged by motor-vehicle accidents. C 102 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 Construction The suspended span of the First Narrows Bridge was resurfaced with an epoxy non-skid coating. A slip-ramp was constructed at the south end of Oak Street Bridge to connect to Bridgeport Road. Resurfacing was carried out on Highway 401 at Fern Street, on the north approach to First Narrows Bridge, and on the Stanley Park roadway at the park entrance. A project was begun to replace corroded cover plates on the floor beams of First Narrows Bridge. Bridge Painting Cleaning and painting, wholly or in part, was carried out on First Narrows, Second Narrows, Middle Arm, Britannia Creek, Campbell River, River Bend, and Duncan Bridges. REGION 2 (J. W. Nelson, Regional Highway Engineer, Kamloops) Kamloops, Salmon Arm, McBride, Vernon, Kelowna, Penticton, Merritt, Lillooet, and Williams Lake Highway Districts Kamloops District Roads Maintenance.—General maintenance was carried out on all district roads and special attention was given to trunk and main highways. On the Trans-Canada Highway extensive repairs were made to damaged and deteriorated guard-rails. 1.5 miles of the Trans-Canada Highway at Monte Creek were widened and strengthened in preparation for the paving contract. Construction.—A truck lane of 1.4 miles was constructed on Kamloops- Vernon Highway 97, in connection with an alignment and grade revision for the highway. Reconstruction was completed on 8 miles of Shuswap Road from Mile 4 to Mile 12 and on 3 miles of Lac Le Jeune Road. On the Clearwater Valley Road 0.5 mile was reconstructed in conjunction with the replacement of Canyon 2 Bridge by a culvert and fill. On Roche Lake Road 2.6 miles were constructed and gravelling completed. Widening and gravelling were completed on 8.12 miles of Westsyde Road, 1 mile on Barnhartvale Road, and 1 mile on Mammette Lake Road. Widening only was completed on 8 miles of Canyon section of Tranquille-Criss Creek Road and 0.5 mile of a rock section on Dunn Lake Road. In addition to the above, 15 miles of widening in short sections, mainly to increase sight distances at dangerous corners, were completed on various other roads. Snow Removal.—Winter maintenance was normal. Weather conditions were not severe, but numerous snowfalls and icing conditions required nearly daily ploughing and sanding. Approximately 35,000 cubic yards of sand were used by the district. While the spring break-up on the country roads was normal, the North Thompson Highway suffered more pavement damage than ever, mainly on sections where the pavement is 10 years or more old. REGIONAL REPORTS C 103 Bridges Most bridges were inspected and repairs made to the following: Walhachin (194), Barriere River (257), Savona (704), Clearwater Station (833), Clearwater (866), Birch Island (960), Raft River (1080), Brookfield Creek (1442), C.N.R. Overhead (1508), Overlander Overpass (1544), Leonie Creek (6241), Lemieux Creek 2, (6249), Deadman Creek 6, (6278). Grouse Creek Bridge (6257), a 27-foot log-stringer span, and Deadman Creek 7 Bridge (6280), a 36-foot log-stringer span, were completely reconstructed. Ferries Extensive repairs were carried out on the McLure, Little Fort, and Blackpool ferries. Salmon Arm District Roads Maintenance.—General maintenance was carried out on all highways and side roads in the Salmon Arm District. Roadside weeds in various sections were sprayed with chemicals and fair to good results were obtained. The mowing of grass and weeds along right-of-way was again carried out. Dust on the side roads in the built-up areas was brought under control by the use of oil, and dust in the more isolated spots was controlled by the use of calcium chloride. Our programme of cleaning ditches along the major highways was continued. Construction.—Reconstruction, including pit-run gravelling, was completed on 3.1 miles of roads which were broken down as follows: Squilax to Anglemont 1.7 miles, Kamloops to Shuswap 0.6 mile, Sorrento to Eagle Bay 1.5 miles, Tappen Valley 0.5 mile. Preparatory work in advance of repaving was completed on 3.42 miles of Okanagan Highway 97b and major improvements were made to an additional 13.1 miles of side roads. Snow Removal.—Although it was a milder winter with less snow than usual, all available equipment was used and with the help of chemicals and two-shift maintenance programme, the main and side roads were kept in good driving condition. Bridges Four bridges, Manson (41), MacAulay (47), Wright (114), and Donnelly (14) were rebuilt throughout. Maintenance work including deck repairs, cleaning, painting, and flood control was carried out on 18 other bridges. McBride District Roads Maintenance.—Routine maintenance of the roads in the district was carried out. The increase in summer tourist traffic on Highways 5 and 16 made it necessary to devote a larger proportion of our resources to pavement patching, garbage collection, and rest area maintenance. Day Labour.—Additional crushed gravel was placed on the Northern Trans- Provincial Highway between McBride and Tete Jaune Cache to prepare for pulvi- mixing by Department crews and 21 miles were surfaced in spite of bad weather. A parking area and highway widening project to accommodate travellers who stop to view and photograph Mount Robson was partially completed. C 104 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 Snow Removal.—Early winter conditions presented serious icing problems. Generally the weather was milder than normal with very light snowfalls. Crews worked shifts, seven days of the week, and much of the time was spent in sanding and salting the highways. A very large amount of salt was used, but this was very effective, and highways were kept snow and ice free most of the winter. The under- body plough proved to be the most useful type of unit on the paved highways. Crews adapted well to the increased demands made by through traffic. The acceptance of winter shift schedules, and the initiative and interest shown by winter shift crews has been very gratifying. Bridges King trusses on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway between McBride and Tete Juane Cache were strengthened by scabbing. Many of the older bridges had major work done on the decks. Vernon District Roads Maintenance.—Normal maintenance was carried out on all highways and side roads throughout the district. Considerable emphasis on patching was necessary as a result of severe spring break-up conditions. Highway 6 through the Monashee Pass suffered extensive pavement damage. Brushing and chemical brush control were again continued along Highways 97, 97a, and 6, as well as Pleasant Valley Road and Old Kamloops Road. Subdivision activity in the Vernon area continued at an ever-increasing rate. Very hot weather in May and June increased demands for dust control in the more built-up areas. The no-post guard-rail plant operated by the district again produced 6,800 feet of guard-rail and 155 bull-nose sections to supply the needs of nine maintenance districts in Region 2. Initial production of no-post median barrier was undertaken at the same plant. Again 200 Department of Highways picnic tables were produced and made available to ship to various roadside rest-stops throughout the Province. Construction and Paving.—On the Enderby-Mabel Lake Road 74, 2.55 miles of reconstruction and a 0.85-mile section of clearing and grubbing was completed. A landslide on this same road at Mabel Lake was stabilized. On the Lumby-Mabel Lake Road 75, 4.25 miles of reconstruction and gravelling for future paving was completed. Gravelled for pulvimix paving were 1.1 miles on the Bella Vista Road 4, and 4.65 miles on the Westside Road 138. District forces cleared, grubbed, and fenced 5.45 miles of the Deep Creek Road 34. Clearing and reconstruction of 3 miles, plus considerable general-improvement work were completed on the Silver Star Road 66. Clearing, fencing, and reconstruction by district forces were carried out on a 2.83-mile section of Highway 97b in conjunction with Paving Project S-2368. District forces also assisted in 18.58 miles of sand-seal surfacing throughout the district. One mile of the Hickman Road 205 was reconstructed to provide access to a new ski development near Vernon. REGIONAL REPORTS C 105 Fiberglass top for litter barrel being manufactured in Vernon yard. Finished product. C 106 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 Snow removal.—General winter maintenance was carried out successfully. The demand for sanding and salting was high during December. A below normal snowfall in the Monashee Pass and Silver Star Park was experienced this past winter. Bridges Necessary repairs to bridges throughout the district were carried out on a routine basis. As a result of an unusually high spring run-off on Bessette Creek, near Lumby, the Albers Bridge (6482) was swept away. A new log-stringer span was constructed as a replacement. Inglis Bridge (6497) over Creighton Creek was reconstructed by district forces, and Butters Bridge (6485) on the Lumby-Mabel Lake Road was redecked. Enderby Bridge (311) over the Shuswap River at Enderby received extensive repairs by replacing the mains and diagonals in the Howe truss. Reconstruction of Sugar Lake Bridge (1032) at Sugar Lake was commenced in March by blasting the existing 140-foot Howe truss, built in 1938, and replacing it with pile trestle. Foundation piles for the abutments and piers were installed for the new Cherry Creek Bridge (2375) on the Sugar Lake Road. Buildings A larger and more efficient heating unit was installed in the Cherryville garage. Kelowna District Roads Maintenance.—Increased traffic volumes throughout the Kelowna area continue to require increased maintenance on commuter roads as well as main highways. This maintenance includes additional signing, paving, shoulder maintenance, and improved safety features for areas of high-density population. The winter maintenance has also been greatly increased with the servicing of two ski areas. Reconstruction.—In preparation for paving, 6.8 miles of the Joe Riche Road were reconstructed. On the Okanagan Highway 1.5 miles were reconstructed and paved. A total of 2 miles of reconstruction was carried out on access roads to ski areas and major improvements were made to 11.35 miles of " fruit haul " roads. Paving.—A total of 8.61 miles of roadmix pavement and 5.15 miles of seal- coat was completed by district forces. Snow Removal.—An average snowfall with normal winter temperatures facilitated maintaining all roads in good driving condition with no inconvenience being experienced by the travelling public. Bridges All bridges were maintained in satisfactory condition. Penticton District Roads Maintenance.—Emphasis was placed on patching of main highway pavements with the use of plantmix asphalts. One hundred thirty-six miles of the 238 miles of REGIONAL REPORTS C 107 main highway were extensively patched by combined hand-placed, grader-laid and mechanical paver-laid asphalts. Added to this were 30 miles of resurfacing under contract, making a total of 166 miles of surface improvement on main highways in this district this year. Routine maintenance and minor improvements were continued on all main highways and side roads. Oil-base dust layer was applied to 45 miles of gravelled surface rural and orchard roads to reduce dust damage to vegetable and fruit crops. Construction and Reconstruction.—A very active year in construction was realized. This was mainly oriented toward the reconstruction of highways and roads, both for contract paving work and for the district blade-mix paving programme. Widening and reconstruction was completed on the 20-mile Princeton to Stirling Creek section of Highway 3. Construction of a 2.7-mile truck lane on Highway 3a was completed. Both sections were subsequently paved by surfacing contract. Sub-grade construction on 6.4 miles of truck lane on the Hope-Princeton Highway was completed. Reconstruction of 1.6 miles of the Apex ski-access road was completed. Included was the elimination of a bridge by the installation of a large diameter culvert. Extensive gravelling of a 5-mile section was also completed. Numerous local roads totalling 12.4 miles were reconstructed and prepared for the district blade-mix paving programme. Contract work was completed on a 17-mile section of fencing along a Schedule 10 Highway. Surfacing.—Following reconstruction and gravelling, 12.4 miles of local roads were blade-mix paved. The policy of rejuvenation of older local road pavements by sand-sealing was continued. A total of 15 miles of pavement was surface-treated in this manner, including 4.3 miles of Naramata Road 250 and 5 miles of Green Mountain Road 78. Snow Removal.—An unusually late fall substantially reduced snow removal problems and costs. Snowfall for the winter was generally below average with the exception being the Princeton area where snowfall was above normal. Other than the Hope to Princeton area, snowfall was almost confined to the month of January. The seven-day-per-week double-shift system provided an effective winter maintenance service in all areas with no major problems encountered. Bridges Five bridges were completely reconstructed and two bridges were extensively repaired. In addition, three timber bridges were replaced with large diameter corrugated metal pipe. Routine maintenance was carried out on other structures, as required. Okanagan Flood Control Stream-flow and lake-level data were collected on the Okanagan River, and Okanagan, Skaha, Tuc-Ul-Nuit, and Osoyoos Lakes respectively. The operation of the Okanagan and Skaha Lake reservoir dams was continued to suit water storage and downstream user needs. C 108 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 ■:^y^:-y>:yrMyy.^, Tm&wmmmm '-■>.;:;.■.;»_■■ Okanagan Highway, north of Penticton. Normal channel and dyke maintenance was continued with concentration on refencing and weed control. Reconstruction of 9.5 miles of fence and 10 miles of dyke were chemically treated for weed-control purposes. A further 1,500 feet of badly eroded channel were reconstructed utilizing some 17,500 cubic yards of waste rock fill. Merritt District Roads Maintenance.—Routine maintenance was carried out on all district roads and the programme of brushing and general right-of-way improvement was continued. The continued use of simazine is showing good results especially on the Fraser Canyon section of the Trans-Canada Highway. Snowfall throughout the district was close to average, but due to temperature range there was a greater demand on abrasive and chemical. The Fraser Canyon section remained open all winter with some minor delays due to rockslides only. Construction.—Reconstruction, relocation, grading, rebuilding of shoulders, and new alignment were carried out on 24.1 miles of district roads by district forces. Bridges Four minor bridges were replaced by culverts, two minor bridges reconstructed, one 100-foot span constructed, and major repairs carried out on 15 others. REGIONAL REPORTS Ferries C 109 Lytton Ferry and North Bend Ferry.—The North Bend ferry was sandblasted and treated for rust and repairs carried out on landings by the district bridge crew. One new haul-back cable was installed. Minor repairs were carried out on Lytton ferry and ramp during the year. The Lytton ferry has operated continuously since April 8, 1969. Lillooet District Roads Maintenance.—Gravelling and grading crews were kept busy throughout the district, with particular emphasis paid to the roads in the Clinton area where a greater increase in logging and tourist traffic is noted each year. Catch roads were cleared and ditching carried out on the Bralorne Road in a continuing process of slide-prevention maintenance. Elsewhere other roads in the district were kept in good condition through routine maintenance. Reconstruction and Surfacing.—Five miles of new road were completed throughout the district along with major reconstruction on the Lillooet-Cache Creek Highway where use was made of the Regional S-12 crew. New construction was commenced on the Seton Portage to D'Arcy route along Anderson Lake, 1 mile of the difficult rock section being rebuilt. A new road was built and black-topped through the Fountain Indian Reserve just outside Lillooet. A further 16 miles of district roads were upgraded throughout the year. Three miles of the Lytton-Lillooet Highway were repaved along with 2.5 miles of the Lillooet-Cache Creek Highway. One-half mile of paving was laid through the resort areas on the Loon Lake Road. Five miles of seal-coating were completed on the Lillooet-Cache Creek Highway. Snow Removal.—Most of the Lillooet District received lighter-than-usual snowfall with the exception of the Mission Mountain area. Considerable use of chemical was used to combat the heavier-than-usual icing conditions. Bridges Two new bridges were completed for the Indian Affairs Department near Lytton, and a new 100-foot span was built for the Village of Cache Creek using 60-foot steel beams. The two suspension bridges received considerable maintenance throughout the year, these bridges being used by logging-trucks in addition to the public. Both these bridges are 60 years old and were originally designed for much lighter traffic. Elsewhere routine maintenance kept the 60 odd bridges in good shape. Ferries Big Bar ferry was kept running throughout the summer and fall seasons with the passenger cage being used the rest of the year. A new ferry house with better living accommodation was built for the ferry operator. A private plane struck and broke the 1 Va -inch wind cable spanning the Fraser River. The plane has not been seen since. c 110 highways report, 1969/70 Williams Lake District Roads Maintenance.—Regular maintenance was carried out on about, 1,700 miles and few extraordinary problems were encountered. An astounding increase in subdivision activity for recreational purposes in the 100 Mile House area kept the local office busy. If all the subdivisions now being processed in the area are completed to registration, some 50 miles will be added to our maintained road total. At Likely, a local logging firm commenced rebuilding 15 miles of the Keithley Creek Road with the Department supplying culverts and some assistance with gravelling. Winter conditions were exceptionally easy to cope with as mild weather persisted until Christmas. Snowfall in the Anahim Lake area was only about one- eighth of average. A large increase in logging-truck traffic has created difficult problems in maintaining our major side roads. A new maintenance establishment was completed at 100 Mile House while at Williams Lake a new establishment is under construction. Construction.—Regional construction crews completed a further 5.4 miles of the Canim Lake Road and 4.3 miles of the Horsefly Road. Various sections of the Chilcotin-Bella Coola Highway, totalling 12.3 miles, were reconstructed. 64.6 miles of other roads were reconstructed or improved. Paving.—District crews completed 0.9 mile of road-mix pavement on streets in the 100 Mile area, while at Williams Lake Paving Branch crews supervised 4.3 miles on the Williams Lake-Soda Creek Road. The Williams Lake area continues to lack a source of clean gravel with enough strength to produce strong pavement. Bridges The Whitewater Bridge over Taseko River leading to Nemiah Valley was rebuilt by the Canadian Army with some material supplied by the Department. A new bridge was completed by the Forest Service over Cariboo River replacing the restricted Spanish Bridge and opening the Keithley area to logging-trucks. Our Department contributed approaches in this joint project. District crews rebuilt Canim River, Hudgeons, Kleena Kleene 1, Moffat Creek, Nygaard, and Spanish Creek Bridges. Private bridge detours in the Bella Coola Valley were still in effect at Nootsatsum and Canoe River. REGION 3 (R. G. White, Regional Highway Engineer, Nelson) Nelson, Rossland, Grand Forks, New Denver, Cranbrook, Fernie, Golden, and Revelstoke Highway Districts Nelson District Roads Maintenance.—Normal maintenance of district roads was carried out throughout the year. The heavy run-off from the previous winter caused slides in the Brilliant area, and flash-flooding at Taghum. Construction.—Major reconstruction was carried out during the winter on Highway 3a near Sanca Creek, and Highway 3, Creston to Arrow Creek section. REGIONAL REPORTS C 111 During the summer 14.4 miles of district secondary roads were reconstructed, 6.7 miles roadmixed, 13 miles invert prime surfaced, and 10 miles of existing pavement were sealcoated. Snow Removal.—The winter was mild with light snowfall, and winter maintenance was routine. Bridges General maintenance was carried out on all district bridges. Two new bridges were constructed in the Goose Creek area, and a replacement for Woolgar Bridge was under construction at year end. Ferries Normal operation occurred on all ferries. The West Creston ferry was taken out of service for the winter months. M.V. Balfour and M.V. Anscomb were each drydocked for painting and inspection. Rossland District Roads An extremely heavy lower levels run-off, culminated by the Trail Creek flood, caused extensive damage which took considerable effort and time to repair. As a result, routine maintenance suffered to some extent. However, the travelled surfaces, road shoulders, and signs received adequate maintenance with a rather extensive hotmix patching programme being carried out on the Southern Trans-Canada Highway. A fairly light snowfall was adequately handled by the two-shift seven-day-week system. Icy conditions presented the major problem necessitating a higher-than- normal consumption of salt and abrasives. The major project undertaken by the district was the construction of 2.7 miles of new road to connect the Celgar Road at Castlegar with the Hugh Keenleyside Dam. Also undertaken was 8.41 miles of roadmix paving which included the aforementioned 2.7 miles. Several other roads were strengthened in preparation for roadmix paving. Bridges Beaver Creek Bridge (1194), 192 feet in length, was rebuilt from the piles up and the Shukin Bridge, 110 feet was completely rebuilt. Other bridges received routine maintenance. Buildings Only routine maintenance and minor improvements were undertaken on the various buildings. Ferries The Castlegar ferry continued to operate on an 18-hour-day schedule with an ever-decreasing volume of traffic being carried, especially since the continuation of the Celgar Road through to the Hugh Keenleyside Dam. Grand Forks District Roads Maintenance.—General maintenance was carried out on all roads within the district. On the Southern Trans-Canada Highway brushing was completed at Eholt, the area from Grand Forks to Rock Creek was sprayed with weed and brush killer, soil C 112 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 sterilent was applied to 23 miles of shoulder between Grand Forks and Greenwood, and 1,400 feet of asphalt guard-rail was replaced with concrete no-post guard-rail east of Lafferty. Shoulders were widened and gravelled a distance of 3 miles east of the Village of Midway, and left-turn slots were constructed for the Department of Commercial Transport at the Midway scale site. Improvements were carried out on Rock Creek-Bridesville Road 65 and Gilpin Road 28. Brushing, widening, and gravelling were carried out on Rock Creek- Kelowna Road 33. In the Village of Midway, the district reconstructed and paved with an inverted prime treatment, certain village roads. The work was performed on a 50 per cent cost-sharing basis. Construction.—Reconstruction was carried out on Rock Creek-Kelowna Road 33 from Kallis Creek to the north limit of the district, a distance of 3.9 miles, and is now ready for paving. Widening and realignment were continued on Brown Creek Road 84, Jewel Lake Road 46, and Grand Forks-Franklin Road 30. On Kettle River Main Road 43, %-in. crushed gravel was placed for a distance of 8 miles in preparation for roadmix paving. Approaches to new Kettle River Bridge in Grand Forks were constructed, and 9.4 miles of new fencing was erected on the Southern Trans-Canada Highway. Paving.—In the Grand Forks, Christina Lake, and Beaverdell areas, 7.35 miles of penetration-seal paving were completed. Five miles of seal paving were completed in the Christina Lake and Rhone areas. Extensive patching with hotmix asphalt was carried out on the Southern Trans- Canada Highway from Anarchist Mountain summit to Rock Creek, and a truck lane was paved on the Rock Creek hill. This work was performed with the co-operation of the Paving Branch. Snow Removal.—Snowfall was below average throughout the district. All roads were maintained in good winter condition. Bridges General maintenance was performed on all bridges in the district. Major repairs were performed on the listed bridges: Carmi Bridge (891) repairs to chords and King truss; Cudworth Bridge (6421) completely reconstructed; Kettle River Bridge (6410) renewed cross ties and deck. A Bailey bridge was erected on Tenth Street in Grand Forks for use during construction of a new bridge on 12th Street. Buildings A motor-vehicle exhaust system was installed in Grand Forks garage, and the interior of the Beaverdell equipment shed was painted. New Denver District Roads Maintenance.—This was the year the contractors and our day-labour forces completed roadmix pavement on new alignment of Highway 6 from Fauquier to Nakusp. Unfortunately, unusually heavy pavement patching was necessary on some sections from Nakusp south to Arrow Park. REGIONAL REPORTS C 113 District crews were more actively engaged on day labour and minor side-road reconstruction than usual but the maintenance did not suffer. The Inonoaklin Valley connection with Highway 6 and streets in the new community of Edgewood were paved. Slips or minor road failures on new sections of road were repaired by the Edgewood crew. Much of their time was spent on the new approaches to the Needles ferry. Here a run-away truck lane was built on the Needles approach and the approaches maintained below the concrete. Spring break-up north of Halcyon was severe but traffic was maintained without serious closure. Brandon Subdivision roads at Slocan were reconstructed by the Winlaw crew in preparation for roadmix. The Kaslo crew made similar preparations in the Allen Subdivision at Kaslo where the weather prohibited spreading the asphalt mulch. Some sections of pavement on Highway 6 between Slocan and Summit Lake suffered heavy damage during the spring break-up. The winter being relatively mild, snowfall was light, but icing conditions were such that an unusually high amount of salt was required on all roads. On November 9, 1969, a major rock-fall at Cape Horn, 4 miles north of Slocan, closed Highway 6 until December 19, 1969. Traffic was detoured via Kaslo-New Denver. A gabion retaining wall was built on the Kaslo Arterial Highway with assistance from the village. The clay slide just north of Winlaw on Highway 6 required further repair work in June and little subsidence has been noted since. Construction.—Two more miles of Route 23 were completed ready for roadmix pavement and 2 miles in heavy work were completed to subgrade. Work continued east of New Denver and west of Kaslo on the Kaslo-New Denver Road and 6 miles are ready for roadmix pavement. At Mirror Lake property was acquired for, and a start made on improvements to, Areola Road 7. Work continued in the suburb areas around Nakusp in preparation for roadmix pavement. Bridges The MacDonald Creek Bridge was replaced by a major multiplate culvert installation. Two multiplate culverts were erected on Brouse Loop Road 33 for installation in April. A bridge on the Enterprise Creek Road was bypassed by a new 3-mile section of road started in 1968 and completed this spring. Outside sway bracing was placed on all Howe truss bridges. Ferries The new M.V. Needles was put in service May 13, 1969. The summer was taken up with problems of the shake-down for smooth operation. Drift from the High Arrow flood caused damage to the impellers and from time to time a diver was required for inspection and debris removal. New landing wedges were required to match the ships requirement. These were designed and built by the district. By September the ferry was operating smoothly but low water in the spring caused problems landing on the approaches and substitute earth landings were required. The approach channels were cleared of obstructions. C 114 HIGHWAYS REPORT, 1969/70 A spare barge has been remodelled and prepared for installation on cables using an approach on the Fauquier side to be shared with boat launching facilities supplied by the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority. Cranbrook District Roads Maintenance.—Damage to pavement was about normal due to severe frost conditions during the previous winter. The spring freshet caused serious erosion of some bridge approaches. Approximately 5,000 lineal feet of concrete no-post guard-rail were installed, part of which replaced some steel guard-rail. As a result of the extension of its boundaries, 5.47 miles of Provincial highways were placed under the jurisdiction of the City of Cranbrook. Construction.—Reconstruction included 3.9 miles on the Wardner-Fort Steele Road and 3 miles on the Mission Road. On the North Star Ski Hill Road at Kimberley 1.59 miles were widened, gravelled, and paved. Shoulders were widened to 10 feet on the Southern Trans-Canada Highway from Cranbrook to 4.8 miles west and from Ryan to Irishman Creek, a distance of 3.45 miles. Paving.—Roadmix pavement was laid on 2.35 miles of the Wardner-Fort Steele Road and 1.8 miles of the Mission-Wycliffe Road. In the City of Cranbrook plantmix pavement was laid in the west lane of Arterial Highway 354r from Second Street North to Baker Street and the west half of the truck route on Van Home Street North. At Wasa 5.35 miles of subdivision roads were paved. In the Cranbrook area 1.28 miles of roads were gravelled and paved and 1.23 miles were repaved. Farstad Way at Skookumchuck was gravelled and paved. The streets in Yahk townsite were repaved. Snow Removal.—Snowfall was below average. Due to higher temperatures than usual more than the normal amount of salt was used. All paved roads were kept bare most of the winter. Bridges All bridges were maintained as required. A new deck and new cross ties were installed on St. Mary's River-Wycliffe Bridge (48). Bridges repainted were Moyie River-Wards (873), Moyie River-Aldridge (955), and Cranbrook East Overhead (1437). Buildings At Kimberley an extension was added to the Butler building and the front of the garage was painted. A new heating system, a new deep-well pump, and new chain lifts on all doors were installed in the Cranbrook garage. Fernie District Roads Maintennace.—Heavier than usual snow-pack during winter of 1968/69 caused spring run-off to be worse than average. Pore pressure and subsequent fill failure REGIONAL REPORTS C 115 caused a major fill failure on Southern Trans-Canada 3 between Elko and Fernie. Side-road break-up was also caused by the same conditions. Usual maintenance was carried on throughout the District. More attention was given to weed and brush control. Heavy industrial developments and the Libby Pondage project created a substantial increase in population, and consequent demand for road service. This will continue through 1970 due to new coal fields developing in the Elk and Flathead areas. Construction.—A total of 6.04 miles of reconstruction on various roads was completed. Paving.—Mileage of roadmix paving totalled 4.64. Total mileage surface treated was 2.5 and mileage receiving oil for a dust layer was 10. Snow Removal.—Lighter-than-usual snowfall reduced snow-removal problems. Ice conditions lasted longer than usual causing depletion of sand stockpiles by April 1st. Golden District Roads Maintenance.—General maintenance was carried out on all district roads. A weed and brush-control programme was continued. Signs were replaced or repaired where necessary. Street-identification signs were installed at intersections in Windermere and Radium Hot Springs townsites. Pavement repair, crack filling, ditching, slope repair, and litter removal were carried out. Numerous fill settlements were brought up to original level and repaved on the Kootenay-Columbia Highway from Athalmer junction to 12 miles south of Canal Flats. Five miles of shoulder restoration was completed in the Harrogate area on the same highway. The west approach fill to the Columbia River Bridge at Donald on the Trans- Canada Highway was rip-rapped with shot rock, and additional hor'zontal drains were installed. Construction.—A total of 0.7 mile of new roads and streets was constructed in the Lake Windermere and Canal Flats areas. Major reconstruction was carried out on the Westside Road from Mile 5.7 to Mile 7.7 north of Dutch Creek. A total of 19.8 miles of side roads was reconstructed by widening, installing new culverts or lengthening existing ones, and gravelling. A total of 1.7 miles were road-mixed. Right-of-way was purchased, clearing, grubbing, fencing, moving of utility poles were completed on the Edgewater section of the Kootenay-Columbia Highway in preparation for repaving project. Snow Removal.—Roads to Mount Seven, Fairmont, and Panorama Ski Hills were kept open. Snowfall was comparatively light but frequent, necessitating application of a large quantity of chemicals and sand. A total of 26,000 tons of sand and 442 tons of salt were used. The trunk highways and some of the side roads were kept bare all winter with only occasional slush or ice conditions. Two shifts of 8 hours each were maintained from November 15th to March 1st with occasional call-outs of additional personnel during heavier snow-storms. Bridges The pile trestle spans were rebuilt on Toby Creek Bridge (29). A temporary 50-foot steel stringer-span was used on the detour. Temporary bridges were dismantled at Horse Creek and Washout Creek on the Kootenay-Columbia Highway.
