Plans rolling ahead for Quesnel highway interconnector
QUESNEL, B.C. – It may seem distant, now local officials say now is the time for the mega project which involves re-routing Highway 97 around downtown Quesnel.
The accepted route would take heavy truck traffic away from Front Street and instead along the Quesnel River, in close enough proximity with the hopes tourists could stop and enjoy the riverfront area.

Mayor of Quesnel Bob Simpson says the interconnector will transform the city, and open new possibilities for the downtown core without the worry of big truck traffic, and dangerous goods transport.
