Canada Way Widening

Location: Burnaby, BC
Overview
Binnie was retained to complete the design, prepare the tender document, administer the contract and provide field services for widening the Canada Way from Kensington to Clayton Avenue in Burnaby. Our work involved dealing with major grade changes at property line caused by the road widening and fully addressing property impacts.

As the work also impacted Deer Lake Brook, we obtained the necessary environmental approvals. We coordinated pole relocations with BC Hydro and Telus to allow road widening to occur. We also arranged for the realignment of a major BC Gas main to accommodate the retaining wall structures.

The work included drainage improvements, streetlighting, traffic signals and roadworks. Traffic management issues and construction staging were critical elements on this extremely busy highway carrying east-west commuter traffic through Burnaby.
