Road Construction BC?

[ippielb]

I remember reading a thread a while back about there being construction on the roads on the #1 and it may be closed at night. I can't find the thread now, but does anyone have any more information?

Not that I can say. We have been doing rock work around our area widening brake checks and chain ups. Hyw has spent some money in our area but we are just about done for the winter. There is a hwy project in Elko starting soon but no shut downs that I know of. Drive BC should have any info on road closers.

They are working on bringing the roads in BC up to 1940’s standards. Should be done by 2030 or so unless Vancouver needs another bridge.

Ill take my BC roads over those pothole infested things you call roads out in Alberta.

You gotta get out more.....here you can actually go faster than 70 everywhere, not just in the passing lanes....

Maybe once your government spends some cash fixing them.

I gotta say, AB roads aren't what they used to be. Between Wuhan flu and the oil hit maintenance is really falling behind.

Yes sir.

Out here in BC we have gone through about a 15 year span of solid road construction and maintenance. That will end this year with the NDP being re-elected and covid situation. I might have to make a few trips to Edmonton to work on my pot hole avoidance skills to prepare myself.

And coming through Alberta from SE Sask to the Revy/Sic area. Id wager that the BC section will be scarier and in way worse shape then the Alberta section.
And no 8hour wait times in Alberta.....

Its going to be a pain getting to Revy for a while(when the construction starts), but those roads need upgrading badly...

You could, but thats not what buddy asked. That road is such a POS. its closed down twice a week in the winter.

Its was never meant to handle the amount of traffic it sees.

Time for an upgrade I guess then. Long over due in fact.

 

[Cableguy]

most of the closures arent due to the road being in poor condition
the new canadians tend not to understand mountain highways and close it because of poor driving skills
