Is it true that traffic through Bala will be seriously disrupted because of lengthy road closures?
No. Road closures are expected to occur for only two one-night events (midnight to early morning between December and May) to install and remove a temporary two-lane bridge. To address concerns about emergency vehicle access during these two short periods, we will be working with the municipality to develop a suitable contingency plan. Construction will also require that District Road 169 be narrowed to a single lane for two two-week periods. To minimize the disruption to the community, these two road narrowings are scheduled to occur during Bala’s less trafficked off-season, between December and May.
