It was built in 1960.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Province launched two phases of engagement seeking input from bridge users, industry, interest groups, local residents and the citizens of B.C. on how they use the bridge, their concerns, and feedback on the concepts for the future for the bridge. Phase one of engagement invited respondents to share their needs and concerns regarding the current bridge while phase two shared concepts built on what we heard in phase one, extensive technical investigations, and consultation with Treaty 8 First Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit the interactive&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/stories\/40cf552d73b746dca2486660a783e068\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>&nbsp;to learn more about the concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>News Releases<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Phase 1: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gov.bc.ca\/25464\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/news.gov.bc.ca\/25464<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Phase 2: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gov.bc.ca\/27299\">https:\/\/news.gov.bc.ca\/27299<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.gov.bc.ca\/gov\/content?id=D61DB943C77449829004327C8BFC39BC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Taylor Bridge Project<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"results\">Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Over 2,000 comments were received across both phases through open houses, surveys, and written submissions. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2022\/08\/What-We-Heard-Taylor-Bridge-Crossing-Phase-1.pdf\" title=\"\">What We Heard Report for Phase 1 (PDF, 8MB)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.gov.bc.ca\/assets\/gov\/transportation-infrastructure-projects\/taylor-bridge-crossing\/2023-12-05-taylor-bridge-engagement-phase_2-summary.pdf\">What We Heard Report for Phase 2 (PDF, 957KB)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related engagements<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"related-engagements\">\n                                    <div class=\"govtogether-engagement-card\" aria-label=\"Engagement title: Kamloops Area Transportation Study.
