British Columbia Roads and Highways BC's
roads are important arteries carrying people to the most picturesque
areas of British Columbia. A network of government maintained roads
and highways connects all the various
regions of BC. The Ministry of Transportation provides up
to date road conditions, including reports of weather conditions, construction
zones and any other closures or disruptions. It is a good idea to visit

to check the route you are planning to take through British Columbia
prior to embarking on your trip. The Coquihalla Highway is a toll highway
that was opened to traffic in 1987 and provides a quicker, higher alternate
route to the Crowsnest (Highway 3) which still exists and remains a
popular, scenic means for getting between Hope and the BC / Alberta
border. Be sure to carry chains when driving this route in the winter,
as the summit of the Coquihalla reaches 1240 meters above sea level
and can experience extreme winter weather conditions. |
