Coquihalla's planned to reopen to regular traffic starting tomorrow, however be prepared for the trip to take an extra 45 minutes to an hour due to lane reductions.
|
It is remarkable they have been able to open both routes this week.
Now the real engineering and design can begin. Have they floated the idea of reinstating the toll on the Coq? Gotta pay for this some how. |
Looks like the province spent about $1 million to install not one but TWO new traffic signals in Princeton, a town that previously had zero. One is obviously at the 5A and 3 intersection, and the other will be just north of there, where 5A turns off the main street to bypass the downtown.
Improvements are coming to the intersection of 97 and 3A in Kaleden too. Not sure about the details at this time, but I'm guessing a protected T intersection. Probably not a signal and definitely not a roundabout unless they dropped 97 to a 50kph zone through there. That one is sure a sketchy intersection! Awesome news about the Coquihalla and Lytton to Spences Bridge. Hopefully the Jackass Mountain stretch is open soon too, then Hwy 1 will be fully passable. |

Kennedy Hill on Highway 4 is starting to come together. The project website still says completion this summer.

Highway 4
Was that the section that had the rock overhanging the highway? Beautiful white knuckle drive for sure!

Kelowna's growth requires a second Okanagan Lake bridge
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/kelo...an-lake-bridge So, to March what is seen in the rest of the developed world this is what a 10 to 15 year highway / transportation plan should look like for Kelowna and the surrounding area: https://images.dailyhive.com/2022042...p-1024x595.jpg https://images.dailyhive.com/2022042...s-1024x490.jpg https://images.dailyhive.com/2022042...l-1024x475.jpg https://images.dailyhive.com/2022042...p-1024x542.jpg https://images.dailyhive.com/2022042...p-1024x475.jpg https://images.dailyhive.com/2022042...p-1024x473.jpg https://images.dailyhive.com/2022042...p-1024x633.jpg Almost mockingly this is what is actually planned over the next 10 to 15 years: https://images.dailyhive.com/2022042...n-1024x542.jpg https://images.dailyhive.com/2022042...p-1024x473.jpg Dear province of B.C., please higher me as your transportation planner! |
That’s really frustrating / depressing.
Thanks for posting all those plans, I wish they would act on the ones with the new alignment & bridge for 97. |

There was studies done in the late 90s on a second crossing and it's not too surprising that even back then they didn't have an appetite for it. |

Beware of the TCH WEST of Golden. They are blasting by Quartz Creek Staging Area, starting at 7pm. I got caught there on Weds night and had to wait 90 minutes to start moving, versus the advertised 30 minutes.
It looked like they blasted a bit more rock than planned and had to clean it off the highway before they started letting people through. |
No announcement, just an article on twinning the final 40kms of TCH through Yoho NP in BC:
