MISSION, B.C. – °µÍø½ûÇøion is complete on the Dewdney Bridge replacement project, meaning those travelling on Highway 7 east of Mission will now experience a smooth crossing.
The bridge opened to traffic ahead of schedule on June 16, 2025, and includes a three-metre-wide multi-use active transportation pathway for pedestrians and cyclists.
Dewdney Bridge connects Highway 7 on either side of Nicomen Slough, about eight kilometres east of Mission, with connections to Highway 1 via highways 9 and 11.
The new structure replaces the 1958 original, explains a release, which was facing the end of its serviceable lifespan.
It provides higher clearance for river navigation and will be less susceptible to flooding. The new bridge also brings modern seismic and environmental enhancements to the area, and is wider for safer travel, the province describes.
The project was completed by Kiewit °µÍø½ûÇøion Services ULC.
Minor finishing work, including landscaping and tree planting, will be complete this spring.
