At the west end of the bridge is the start of the road to the Mount Baldy Ski Area.

[1][3] In the early 1990s, the government of British Columbia, responsible for the upkeep of Rock Creek Canyon Bridge, reviewed it and decided that the structure was not wide enough to cope with modern traffic.

The capacity of the structure was increased to comply with more rigorous and up-to-date design codes.

These works were designed and supervised by Buckland and Taylor Ltd, a bridge engineering firm, and the project was delivered on time and under budget.

The construction works were phased, keeping one lane open at all times to minimise the traffic disruption that a full closure would cause.
