The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure  is moving ahead with plans to replace the South Slocan Bridge with a design that will ensure pedestrian access is maintained for those living in the communities between Castlegar and Nelson, near Playmor Junction.

A portion of Highway 6 near Nelson will be resurfaced this summer, improving safety for motorists on this important route through the West Kootenay.

Another three of the 30 new webcams to be installed this year on the DriveBC network are now live, giving motorists a real-time view of weather and road conditions on provincial highways near the communities of Nelson, Creston and Trail.

The first of 30 new webcams to be installed this year on the DriveBC network are now live, giving motorists a real-time view of traffic queues, weather and road conditions at the Kootenay Lake ferry terminals.

The Province is adding 30 web cameras to its DriveBC network this year, giving motorists more opportunities to check real-time traffic, road and weather conditions as they plan their trips. Eleven of these will be in the Southern and Central Interior.
