It's not super easy going West from Golden, as the whole stretch to the Donald bridge has a steep slope on one side and rail tracks/Columbia River on the other side. After that there are some straight and fairly flat areas that could be looked at for sure.

Yeah, west of Golden seems like it will be one of the easier stretches to twin ... relatively speaking for BC of course.

The Saturday Creek portion of the Hope Princeton reconstruction is done. Just the Sunday Summit to Saturday Creek left to do (should be done by the end of the year). A good 5-7 km of road realignment and reconstruction happening here.

Yup it would be nice, but at least they have done quite a bit in most of the worst area, it seems from the 1960s to 1990 or so very little improvements were done.

Not construction, but a video:

So during my trip in Canada this month, I had to go to the Okanagan Valley. Here is a video I captured descending into and through Osoyoos via the #3 before continuing north along the 97. The decent into Osoyoos is maybe my favorite section of road in Canada. Sorry if it is a little shaky, the pavement needs a little TLC ;)

Has the Kicking Horse Canyon project been totally abandoned ?

Hey. Great Vid! Since I was a teen, and EVERY time since then, when in Osoyoos... have always climbed Anarchist Mtn. to the "look-out". Best view in Canada.

That said, Keremeos to Osoyoos via BC-3 heading eastward toward Osoyoos... has always been my fave BC cruise. Once around Richter Pass... one sees the valley below, the lake, and the distant orchards while descending.

The best.

Nada. All is good and it's a go.... time-frame wise. Last article regarding same:

Thanks!

I also love the #3 Keremeos to Osoyoos. Just amazing views with the steep mountains sides, dry sage hills, and lush orchards in the valley. As a kid that section meant, "almost at the campground!"

Here is another video I did from Okanagan Falls to Penticton. If you have never taken Eastside Road, do it!

Yeah, the south Okanagan is just full of amazing drives.

That's Awesome news - Thanks!
I hadn't seen an update on the website for so long I was getting a little concerned.

I put together one recently too. This is highway 97 from Vernon to Lake Country:

Awesome video! Very clear, still can't seem to upload a clear video format on my youtube. Won't except my higher quality .MOV files.

Yeah, that new section of highway is really nice. Drove it for the first time ever myself this August. Was very impressed.

Yeah I've driven it several times now from the airport to Vernon. It's fantastic and probably knocks up to 10 minutes off the drive between Oyama and Windfield. It's now about a 20 minute drive

This would be sweet. :tup:

Driverless highway from Vancouver to Seattle proposed
Automomous vehicles could eventually take over I-5/Hwy 99 route

Don't put too much into this... they also floated the idea of a high-speed rail link. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see something like hyperloop connecting the entire western seaboard but unlikely in the foreseeable future.

Thanks for the comments. Yes I was very impressed with that highway too. I wasn't expecting it when I drove through the area. I upload MOV files too. I just use the Youtube profile built-in to Apple Compressor. I think it's h264 codec with AAC audio with a video bitrate of 14mbits/sec.

Continuing through the lower mainland on the TCH-1. I've driven all the way from Winnipeg.

Nice video! Thank you.

Thanks for the Highway 3 pics Klazu! Castlegar is on Highway 3 so ive driven the Hope Princeton a million times. Its our main route to Vancouver. Nice to see some of the improvements on that stretch.
