Emil Anderson Construction has been selected for the design and construction of the Highway 1 Jumping Creek to MacDonald Snowshed Project near Revelstoke, BC. This four-year initiative will enhance 2.6 km of highway, connecting the recently completed Illecillewaet project to the Jack MacDonald Snowshed. This vital infrastructure upgrade will enhance safety and efficiency for travellers in the region.
“Emil Anderson Construction is excited to be part of the Jumping Creek to MacDonald Snowshed project along the Trans Canada Highway. Having recently completed both the Illecillewaet Brake Check and Kickinghorse Canyon Projects along this corridor, we understand how important these highway upgrades are to keep people and goods moving across the province while increasing overall highway safety. We are looking forward to collaborating and working with all of the partners involved in this work while delivering another successful project in the area.”

The four-lane highway upgrade will enhance driver safety and efficiency with new passing lanes to ease congestion, a centre median, and roadside barriers to reduce collision risks. Key features include rockfall and avalanche mitigation, improved climate resiliency, and widened shoulders for active transportation. These upgrades will provide a safer, smoother journey along this critical section of Highway 1.
