Summer is still a few weeks away, but it’s certainly going to feel like summer in the BC Interior this weekend.
As the winter jackets get put in storage and people start to bust out their bathing suits and lawn chairs, road crews around the province are getting to work as well.
According to the Province, work has already begun in the southern part of the BC Interior to resurface and upgrade around 482 kilometres of highways and side roads.
“In 2024, more than $122 million will be invested to resurface southern Interior highways and local roads, ensuring that drivers continue to have a safe and comfortable driving experience,” said a Ministry of Transportation release.
