- HWY 11 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 HWY 11, CN Rail overpass was subject to a few wildlife encounters, including bear and deer tracks left in freshly poured deck overlays
