Highly anticipated work along the TransCanada Highway in the Shuswap is set to begin.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure announced Friday, Oct. 6, that construction is beginning on Highway 1 between Fort Road and Tappen Valley Road. The work is to improve safety, reliability and travel efficiency in the area, as well as facilitate better movement of goods.

A planned series of improvements is coming to the highway, including work to widen the two-lane highway to four lanes, replacing the aging Tappen overpass, constructing frontage roads and creating a commercial and passenger vehicle pullout, reads a provincial media release.

The work will include a stretch of highway running through Skwlax te Secwepemc煤lecw, formerly known as Little Shuswap Lake Band Indian Reserve No. 5, enhancing connections for this Indigenous community and improving safe access to the highway.

Efforts will be made to best minimize traffic disruptions, said the ministry.

Work will take three construction seasons to complete with an anticipated end date in 2026.
