ESTIMATES
The
winter
snowslides
that
annually
block
the
Skeena
River
Highway
at
Kwinitsa,
60
miles
east
of
Prince
Rupert
will
become
little
more
than
a
wayside
curiosity
rather
than
a
traffic
obstruction
when
the
provincial
public
works
department
this
summer
completes
a
$25,000
causeway
that
will
divert
the
road
around
the
slide
region
at
that
point.
"I
am
very
glad
to
hear
it,'
was
the
way
District
Public
Works
Engineer
J.
C.
Brady
received
the
Information
that
Hon.
E.
C.
Carson
had
Included
funds
for
the
Kwinitsa
diversion
in
1947
estimates.
"It
will
remove
a
major
headache
for
us
in
keeping
the
highway
open."
While
detailed
plans
for
changing
the
course
of
the
road
at
Kwinitsa
have
not
yet
been
received,
Mr.
Brady
said
that
the
diversion
likely
will
call
for
the
construction
of
1,000
feet
of
causeway,
'partly
In
the
Skeena
River
bed
about
200
leet
away
from
the
present
road,
which
has
'been
covered
by
slides
for
the
past
two
winters.
"It
will
be
a
bie
Job
but
it
wlil
result
in
the
highway
at
that
point
being
outside
the
slide
zone.
It
will,
skirt
the
oasc
ui
the
slide
zone
and
eliminate
the
danger
of
the
road
being
cover
ed."
At
the
present
time,
the
road
hugs
the
base
of
the
mountain
at
a
place
where
the
railway
tunnels
through
the
rock.
A
year
ago,
dlstrlct'publlc
works
crews
removed
a
slide
100
feet
high
and
1,000
feet
long
18,000
cubic
feet,
of
snow.
The
projected
causeway,
according
to
Mr.
Brady,
will
be
built
of
rock
and
contain
two
htrce
overcuts
which
will
allow
the
river
water
to
flow
inside
the
area
it
skirts,
thereby
melting
the
base
of
the
slides.
