 Minister of Forests and Range Rich
Coleman at the official opening of the Farwell Canyon bridge on the South
Chilcotin Forest Service Road. The $1.6 million, 95-metre long bridge is made of
steel and concrete and features a separate pedestrian crossing. It replaces the
historic wooden Farwell Canyon Bridge which was destroyed in a fire in September
2006. Penni Hunt for the Central Cariboo Forest District, and “Tiny” Crombie of
Williams Lake assisted with the ribbon cutting. At the wheel of the logging
truck in the background is Tony Bremner of Clusko Logging, the first person to
drive across the bridge after the official opening. |
