People living in British Columbia’s Cariboo region are benefiting from nearly $4 million in transportation investments made to support the region during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A co-ordinated effort to ensure people have safe, reliable roads in the region is underway as work to repair flooding and damage continues at over 100 road sites in the Cariboo.

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.
