The Taylor Bridge Project is in the concept development stage of planning. This stage will identify a preferred solution, timeline, and budget to support government decisions on the future of the Taylor Bridge Crossing.

In Phase 1, three foundational goals for the Taylor Bridge Project were confirmed. These goals are guiding the development of a long-term solution that will benefit the Peace Region and the province as a whole.

Five concepts are under consideration and evaluation to identify a long-term solution. Some of the images below are interactive. To interact with these images, use the arrow button in the centre of the image to swipe back and forth.

Built to highway standards for travel comfort, smoothness, and reliability. This concept supports future economic growth in Northeast B.C. and across the province.

This concept creates new opportunities for safer active transportation on the bridge and enhances connections to trails and Peace Island Park.

This concept would require a new in-stream and foreshore bridge footprint.

Combines the renewal and two-lane replacement concepts.

This combined concept prolongs the useful life of the existing bridge, adding a new solid deck surface. This concept would meet current and future demand by increasing capacity through a new two-lane bridge.

This concept also creates new opportunities for safer active transportation on the bridge and enhances connections to trails and Peace Island Park.

This concept would require a new in-stream and foreshore bridge footprint for the new two lane structure.
