The B.C. government has awarded a $33-million major works contract to Graham Infrastructure LP for the rehabilitation of the Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge. Construction is expected to begin in September 2026 and take approximately three years to complete.
The project will upgrade the Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge to improve safety, reliability and extend its service life. It will address deterioration of the bridge’s structural steel and concrete, improve drainage and extend the operational service life of the bridge by an estimated 50 years.
The scope of work includes:
• replacing deck expansion joints
• rehabilitating structural components
• removing corrosion and repairing affected areas
• improving drainage systems
• recoating the bridge structure
• other upgrades to help protect the bridge and extend its service life.
Most of the work will take place underneath the bridge, however, some work on the bridge deck will require single-lane-alternating traffic.
The Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge carries nearly 15,000 vehicles each day across the Fraser River between Agassiz and Rosedale/Bridal Falls. The bridge, which opened in 1956, carries two lanes of Highway 9 between Highway 1 and Highway 7 and serves communities on both sides of the Fraser River.
