Construction activities near Valleycliffe
In order to create the space and access needed for pipeline construction, crews are continuing to work along our new right of way northeast of Valleycliffe.Starting as early as January 19, crews will be conducting intermittent controlled blasting, drilling and hammering activities in the area. These are standard construction methods used to safely break apart rock to prepare for gas pipeline construction. FortisBC has been conducting these activities across the project since 2024. Additionally, crews will be relocating powerlines and poles on a nearby private property.The work will occur between the hours of 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday to Saturday. Our right of way and trails in the area will remain closed at all times, including Sundays, to maintain public safety. We ask the public to please avoid entering restricted areas during this period.We appreciate your continued patience as we safely complete this work. We will continue working with residents and recreational user groups to notify them of nearby activities as construction progresses.If you have any questions or concerns, or if you would like more information about the project, please contact the FortisBC team at [email protected] or 1-855-380-5784.
