Quesnel City Council has directed staff to come back with a formal report on a full repair of the Johnston Bridge.
Council was presented with four options at a special meeting on Tuesday night.
Option A involved comprehensive repairs to the bridge for a 15-20 year lifespan.
It would bring the bridge up to a full legal axle load rating for 63,500 kilograms, although Director of Capital Works and Infrastructure Chris Cobin noted that the lifespan would increase if Council were to keep the 10,000 kilogram weight restriction that has been in place since October of 2018 after an inspection by engineers revealed that it had corrosion problems.
