Trans Canada slated to reopen

May 21, 2021 | 7:13 AM

KAMLOOPS — If everything works out, the Trans Canada Highway just east of Golden will reopen today. The route had been closed since mid-April to allow construction to take place on a particularly treacherous stretch of road.

The highway is slated to reopen at noon today ( Fri. May 21) for the long weekend. But there will be more closures in the weeks ahead. The road will be closed at noon Tuesday (May 25) to noon Friday, May 28th, and for parts of next weekend as well.

During the closure, motorists heading to Alberta had to add another 90 minutes to their trip to detour south through Radium and back north to reconnect with the Trans Canada.

Updates and any changes will be posted to the Drive B.C. web site.
