Highway 1 & lower lynn interchanges (north vancouver, bc)

Lafarge’s scope consists of the following key components:

• Construction of on/off ramps in all four quadrants
• Signalization at both ends of the new structure to provide the safe movement of traffic on and off Mountain Highway
• Replacement of the existing two-lane Mountain Highway underpass with a new four-lane structure
• Full intersection at Keith Road/Brooksbank Ave/Mountain Highway

Relationship building was essential and was created by ensuring that:

• project leaders participated in pre-construction open houses and implemented various channels to
• communicate with all affected stakeholders;
• the complete development and execution of project-specific health, safety, and environmental plans followed by regularly scheduled audits and reviews;
• schedules were designed sensibly with slack in critical paths, the coordination of specialized trades, and the flexibility to adjust to external constraints;
• project control systems were both effective and easily accessed by all levels of workers, ensuring transparency and meaningful exchange of information; and
• the experience and knowledge of the team helped provide innovative problem solving and adherence to budget, timeline, and specifications.

Being located so close to the highly sensitive Lynn Creek - a spawning ground for salmon - all construction activity at Mountain Highway required conscious planning and consideration of environmental needs to align with the demands of a congested existing roadway.
