24 November 2009 Clanwilliam Bridge Construction to Last Three Years A consultant discusses the Clanwilliam project at a public open house in Revelstoke last week.     Clanwilliam British Columbia - (Article Abridged) - The good news is faster, safer, bridges are in the works for the Trans-Canada on either side of Revelstoke.   The bad news is you're likely going to spend some time sitting in construction delays for the next three years, though construction managers say they'll do everything they can to minimize your delays.       Construction is scheduled to start next summer on two major bridge replacement projects on the Trans-Canada near Revelstoke.   The Clanwilliam bridge replacement project will replace a two-lane bridge that crosses the CPR rail line near Clanwilliam, which is located about 10 kilometres west of Revelstoke.   The curves and elevations on either side of the 50-year-old bridge will be smoothed out and two new two-lane bridges will be built side by side, replacing the aging, undivided two-lane structure.   The project has ultimately come about because the federal government has released stimulus funding, saying this allowed the ministry to get to work on a list of priority projects including the Clanwilliam and Donald bridges.
