A section of highway 16 located west of the Beaverly Volunteer Fire Department has been proving to be an issue for motorists in the area over the last couple of months.
In early June, a section of the shoulder on the right-hand side of the road completely collapsed, which according to Yellowhead Road and Bridge (YRB) spokesperson George Merik, was caused by the spring weather conditions.
“Originally it was just a slough on the south side of the road, there wasn’t a lot of integrity with the material that was there, we were advised through geotechnical staff to support the large scarp that was there,” explained Merik.
