Work to rebuild and realign the washed-out portion of West Fraser Road will get underway this spring, improving the lives of people in the region by creating a safer, more reliable road and bridge.

People around the province are benefiting from more reliable roadways and local jobs as a result of funding from StrongerBC: BC's Economic Recovery Plan.

The Province is taking the next step to rebuild West Fraser Road, a project near Quesnel that will improve the lives of people living in the area by creating a new route and bridge.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is rehabilitating highways and bridges in the southern Interior and building new infrastructure where it is needed.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure invites people to go online and view the selected option to rebuild and realign West Fraser Road, south of Quesnel.

Local residents are advised that Mountain View Road, approximately eight kilometres north of McBride, is now open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Mountain View Road, approximately eight kilometres north of McBride, will be open to residents for two-hour periods, twice daily, starting Saturday, July 11.

The new Rolla Road bridge and road realignment is complete, helping to maintain safe and efficient travel for people at all times of the year, especially during future flooding events.

Construction of a new bridge to replace the existing three culverts under 8th Street in downtown Dawson Creek will start in early June. The bridge is designed to make travel safer and more efficient for people who live and work in the region, especially during freshet season.
