Efforts are underway in the southern Interior to enhance infrastructure by upgrading a total of 482 kilometres of highways and side roads.

This year, an investment of over $122 million has been made toward the resurfacing of highways and local roads in the southern Interior.

Among the key projects scheduled for completion is the repaving of approximately 33 kilometres of Highway 97 during the summer months. This stretch, starting from Tuc el Nuit Road, just north of Oliver, and extending northward through Okanagan Falls to White Lake Road, along with the side roads, will undergo improvement. The targeted completion for this project is set for October 2024.
