Prince George, B.C. –  The movement of the Salmon River Bridge to  its detour location  was carried out  in the dark of night  on the weekend,   and it came off without a hitch.

While  the  closure of the crossing from 10 Saturday night to 6 Sunday morning was a major inconvenience  for those  living  north of the Salmon River,  the  movement of the  bridge  was  required  in order to  continue construction of the new bridge  that will  take its place.
