Project Details:
- Project: BF70277 – HWY 22, Clearwater River Bridge near Rocky Mountain House, Alberta
- Client: Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors

- Description: Bridge Rehabilitation complete with new deck joints, drain troughs, chip-seal coating, and earthworks/erosion repairs
Our Role:
ERK Construction Inc. was the general contractor on this project. We managed all scopes, work fronts, and subcontractors while self-performing all the concrete work internally.
Key Statistics:
- 0 injury, lost time, or environmental incidents
- Total project value of nearly $1.5M
- No claims during contract/construction period
- Completed all project scopes with 17 site-occupancy days remaining
Challenges Overcome:
- HWY 22 is a high-load corridor, requiring constant interface with wide and over-sized loads and coordination with transport dispatch, pilot vehicles, and truck drivers
- Work on the Clearwater River bridge was in an environmentally critical location, with protections in place for the riparian zone adjacent to the river
- Clearwater River is a navigable water body; we had to maintain access to the River during the construction period
By prioritizing sustainability and environmental responsibility, we aim to create infrastructure solutions that not only meet the needs of our clients but also contribute to a healthier and more sustainable environment for future generations.
