In terms of AADT counts, one could say the same about NB and NS as well. |
TCH in Alberta is basically a freeway from the BC border to the east side of Calgary (if you use the Ring Road). East of there, yes, lots of upgrading required.
Ozabald - do you have an example of a “Texas style slip ramp” ? |

Similar to my proposal for Morris, MB? :D

Oh wow it does. The ramps at Lonsdale Avenue border on that type of ramps too.

The other towns listed would be relatively easy. |

I wonder if a bypass couldn't be built to the south of Salmon Arm along the base of Mount Ida? |
A bypass south of Salmon Arm sounds better. That may require rebuilding the through lanes of the interchange at Salmon River Road, though. (This is to cap the maximum slope of the bypass at 5% for 4.2 km at the foot of the hill.) I wonder how much work that will be.

Is that in Google Earth Pro, or Global view of Google earth? It even shows the shape of the mountains. :runaway:

This is obvious in the recent investment done to twin the highway west of Salmon Arm with an interchange, a section that would be completely bypassed in the above bypass. |
It’s just B.C. On one hand, I get the idea.
Meanwhile in Ontario, TCH, despite its meagre volume in Northern Ontario, is still understood as a route carrying long-distance traffic, and classified and treated accordingly (in terms of design and maintenance). As such, its long-term upgrades around built up area will be an uninterrupted 4-lane facility (aka freeway bypasses). Back to Salmon Arm: Bluntly, if it weren’t for that new interchange on the west side helming things in, I wouldn’t have suggested something as insane as a freeway through the town. Then again, all that’s needed is 40-m ROW, which just means demolishing the south side of the section through the town. |
