The B.C. government says permanent repairs start on Thursday for the Delta overpass that was damaged after being struck by a truck in the summer.
A truck hit the Highway 17A overpass above Highway 99 on July 18, leading to brutal delays and road closures lasting until a day after the collision.
The province says the work will take up to eight weeks and mostly take place during the evenings, causing detours and partial lane closures during the process.
It says drivers can expect a southbound closure on Highway 99 from Friday, Nov. 17 at 9 p.m. until Sunday, Nov. 19 at 3 p.m., as well as a full closure of the damaged side of the Highway 17A overpass over Highway 99 running from Friday, Nov. 17 at 9 p.m. until repairs are complete.
