interchange

contracts announced

CONTRACTS HAVE been
awarded and work is set to start
in late summer on the $32-mil-
lion Westview Interchange.

By lan Noble
News Reporter

Victoria announced Wednesday a
three-fimi team of engineers and
contractors has been given contracts
to design and build the interchange.

The interchange will eliminate a
major source of congestion on the
Upper Levels Highway.

The design-build contract. worth
slightly more than $26 million, went
to SCI Engineers and Constructors
Lid. PBK Engineering Lid. and

Urban Systems Ltd.

North Vancouver-Lonsdale MLA
David Schreck said the contnict calls
for a firm completion date of June
30, 1997.

Incentives for earlier completion
are also included in the contract, he
added.

Schreck said SCI will announce a
process for public involvement in the
project within the next four weeks,

“Work begins now on finalizing
plans. but the work people want to
see — canh moving — will bezin
before fall.” said Schreck.

The successful companies have
been involved in other projects such
as the Castlegar Bridge and
Vancouver's Cambie Street Bridge
and Cussiar Connector.

The government said key features
of the Westview Interchange include
constructing a six-lane highway
underpass at Westview Drive to span
six lanes on the Upper Levels
Highway, reconstructing about |
kilometre (0.6 milc) of the Upper
Level Highway from four to six
Janes, and seismic retrofiding of the
existing 150-metre (492. ft.) arch
structure crossing Mosquito Creek.

The Jones Avenue pedestrian
overpass will also be replaced to
span the widened highway.

The government says that using a
design-build approach rather than the
traditional way of separating con-
struction and design contracts has
saved more than $3 million on the
project.
