Found this snippet on the web about rebuilding the trestles beginning.

"Trestle Reconstruction Underway

"On August 26, 2004, Premier Gordon Campbell and Senator Ross Fitzpatrick announced a $13.5-million partnership between the provincial and federal governments to rebuild the historic Myra Canyon trestles. Work began on Trestle #18 in October, 2004 with the plan to have it completed by year-end. Work will continue on the remaining trestles in 2005 with a target date of late 2007 for re-opening the rail grade. Visit the "Trails BC News & Events" page for more information."
