On Wednesday morning traffic will begin using the new Pritchard interchange located approximately 40 kilometres east of Kamloops. The new interchange provides safer access along the Trans-Canada Highway and particularly for residents and visitors to the community of Pritchard.

Motorists are reminded to obey traffic control personnel and construction speed limits, and watch for workers and highway message boards, as work continues on the second phase of the Monte Creek to Prichard project which is expected to be completed later this year.

Traffic advisories and web cam views continue to be available at: www.DriveBC.ca, and more project information is at: http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/highwayprojects/bchwy1/index.html
