Road improvements for north of Nakusp

It will be smooth driving on Highway 23 between Nakusp and Galena Bay soon, with the road to receive a seal coat over the coming months, as part of provincial upgrades to provide better driving surfaces for residents, travellers and goods movement.

In total, almost 630 kilometres of highways and side roads in B.C.’s southern Interior will receive improvements.

But with these improvements, comes roadworks.

Drivers are reminded to observe construction-zone speed limits and the directions of traffic-control workers.

Updates about delays and closures are available at: https://www.drivebc.ca/

You can view other major resurfacing projects taking place in the southern interior over the coming months here.
