Engineers from COWI are in Williams Lake assessing the overpass on Highway 20 just west of Mackenzie Avenue.

Crews on site from COWI - formerly Buckland and Taylor - said Monday they are doing a bridge inspection for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

A ministry spokeperson said the inspection is routine and done on all bridges on a regular basis as part of the ministry’s protocol.

With it being Oct. 2, motorists are also reminded the Shift into Winter campaign began in B.C. yesterday.

Highways in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region are designated as winter tire zones for passenger vehicles or for commercial trucks to carry chains.
