People throughout B.C.’s southern Interior can look forward to renewed local roads as crews will work this summer on paving projects covering more than 450 kilometres of highways and side roads.

As warm weather draws more people outdoors, drivers in rural areas are reminded to stay vigilant and share the road with others, including horses and their riders.

The public is invited to have their say on the first rapid transit project south of the Fraser River in 30 years.

Construction will begin this spring on a new commercial vehicle inspection station east of Terrace, which will improve safety for drivers along the highway corridor.

The early engagement phase of the environmental assessment process is underway for the proposed toll-free eight-lane tunnel to replace the aging George Massey Tunnel.

Improved transit reliability, travel-time savings for drivers and more effective active transportation connections are on the way in Richmond.
