Premier Christy Clark recently announced the Phase 2 projects on the Cariboo Connector will be underway by 2017, including 30 more kilometres of four-lane improvements of Highway 97 between Cache Creek and Prince George.
The provincial government is investing $200 million over the next five years for Phase 2 of the Cariboo Connector.
When Phase 2 is completed, almost 50 per cent of the 440-km highway between Cache Creek and Prince George will be either three or four lanes wide.
This will include four-laning north of Willow Road, near 70 Mile House and the Stormy Road four-laning, tying together the previously-constructed Stormy Road North and Bullock Lake Road projects.
It also includes the 76 Mile South four-laning, tying together the Stormy and 70 Mile north sections.
