BCIB employs the skilled construction workers on some of British Columbia’s biggest infrastructure projects. Working with unions, industry, and our employees, we’re building a qualified, empowered, and inclusive workforce that will benefit BC’s construction sector for years to come.
Pattullo Bridge, Surrey, BC, Canada
The Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project will improve the connection between Surrey and New Westminster through a new four-lane bridge. Updates will provide a safer crossing for all bridge users, dedicated walking and cycling lanes separated by barriers from bridge traffic, and better access to the bridge. The new bridge is scheduled to open in 2024.

Located east of Golden, BC, along the Trans-Canada Highway, the Kicking Horse Canyon Phase 4 project will widen and modernise the currently rugged road. This final stage of the project will complete the network of improvements in the area, transforming the approximately 26 km stretch of highway into a four-laned, 100 km/hr standard route. With 30% of the traffic consisting of commercial vehicles, these upgrades will not only assist with connecting local communities, but more effectively facilitating interprovincial and international trade.
3045 Gibbins Rd, Duncan, BC V9L 1E5
A new Cowichan District Hospital is being built in the Cowichan Valley through Island Heath and the Province of British Columbia. The new community hospital will offer an integrated care model by connecting Island Health’s hospital-based services with primary care and other community-based services throughout the Cowichan region. The new building will be nearly three times larger than the current facility, with capacity for 204 beds, and more space to care for patients.
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B9
Extending the Millennium Line’s current terminus station, VCC-Clark, to Broadway and Arbutus, the Broadway Subway Project is a 5.7 kilometre expansion. This project is a key part of Metro Vancouver’s Mayors’ Council 10-Year-Vision, and will provide fast, frequent and convenient Skytrain services, saving commuters time and relieving traffic congestion. Construction is fully underway, with the line projected to open in 2025.
75QF+G8 Golden, BC, Canada
Just east of Golden, BC, the Kicking Horse Canyon is an iconic section of the Trans-Canada Highway. In the summer, more than 10,000 vehicles travel it daily. This impressive project will upgrade the narrow road to a four-lane, 100km/h modern highway. It’s challenging and exciting work.

“This is my backyard. The highway goes through the heart of all three Bands. I’m closer to my colleagues on this project. They seem like family. You don’t just take pride in it – you want your work to last for years.”
“It’s quite nice and reassuring to work on a BCIB project. It’s a safe environment. On a union site, pretty much everybody’s ticketed. So, with more qualified people, the job gets done right the first time. … And I like that I am paid a fair wage for my expertise and can spend time with my young family instead of working too much OT. Morale is quite nice in our department, in all the departments across the site, actually.”
