The Trans-Canada Highway, which opened to traffic in 1962, is a very busy thoroughfare linking 10 provinces across the country.<\/p>\n
The stretch through Kicking Horse Canyon is one of the most rugged on the route and authorities have started an extensive works programme to turn it into a state-of-the-art four-lane motorway.<\/p>\n
During the last phase \u2013 the trickiest on account of the topography \u2013, Geoquest Canada designed and supplied 9,000 sq. metres of Terre Arm\u00e9e\u00ae retaining walls for 6 structures towering up to 12 metres high<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Works will be completed in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>
