The intersection of Highway 97 at Juniper Road will be deactivated later this year.
Travellers will be redirected, improving safety along a busy corridor in Quesnel. This comes after the completion of the Quesnel Transportation Study. The study found the configuration of the intersection, along with significant volume of commercial traffic contributes to a collision rate on Highway 97 that is higher than the provincial average.
Once a definitive timeline is determined, appropriate signage and notices will be provided for people travelling through Quesnel. Juniper road and local business access will not be affected.
