Sorry, but the NDP has done little to this magnitude, nor have they even touched the okanagan. The only thing I can think of in the interior is the sicamous bridge replacement but that came after years of red flags from the mayor urging action or someone would die. Lo and behold, someone did die. In a spectacular way.
The Patullo Bridge replacement, UBC and Langley Sky train and the additional upgrades to highway 1 are the only big ticket items underway that I can think of, and they’ve been in power for almost ten years.

The Liberals also upgraded considerable portions of the 97 through the Okanagan, including the twinning between Vernon and Winfield (an entirely new section built to freeway grade), twinning north of Vernon including two interchanges, the interchange at Westside Rd., and the twinning between Okanagan Lake Provincial Park to Summerland.
Now, for the Okanagan, the NDP have..... canceled the twinning / bypass in Peachland, which would have completed the 4 lane+ width of the 97 from Penticton to Vernon and deferred a second crossing for decades....
Gee, I wonder who was better for the region?
Also don't forget all the twinning done to the Cariboo Connector under the Liberals, and the entire Kicking Horse Canyon project / Highway 1 twinning was initiated by the Liberals.
Also highway 91 was finally upfraded to full freeway standards, the Roberts Bank railways crossing projects, etc...
