Sustainable Design for the Prince George South Weigh Scale and Four-laning

BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (BC MoT)'s $30 million Prince George South Weigh Scale and Four-laning project involves approximately 5.0 kilometres of highway realignment and four-laning and a new median Commercial Vehicle Inspection Station (CVIS) near Prince George, British Columbia. The project is part of the Provincial Weigh2GoBC program (formerly Green Light Transportation System) and the design includes components of environmental, economic, and social sustainability. This paper will describe the details of these components and show how owner initiative and design innovation can produce a highway design project with sustainable benefits to the users and the surrounding environment.
