Funding commitment from federal and provincial governments will improve safety
April 8, 2015 – Princeton, British Columbia – Infrastructure Canada
Today, the governments of Canada and British Columbia announced a funding commitment to improve safety along 5 kilometres of Highway 3 near Princeton. The project will include removing two sharp curves in the roadway and adding a passing lane in each direction.
This realignment project will help reduce collisions, create safer passing opportunities, improve traffic flow and provide better driving conditions between Sunday Creek and Sunday Summit on Highway 3.
"The realignment of Highway 3 just south of Princeton will make travel safer and more efficient for all motorists. Our Government is pleased to support this significant project as we focus on creating jobs, promoting growth and building strong, safe, prosperous communities across Canada."
- Dan Albas, Member of Parliament for Okanagan—Coquihalla and Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board
"I believe that the Highway 3 improvement project, Sunday Creek to Sunday Summit section, is another example of the Province of British Columbia's commitment to making our destination a safer and more comfortable driving experience. The improvements will undoubtedly enhance our Town's ability to attract tourists, make it safer for residents to travel west especially in the winter, and enhance the Town's position as a significant transportation hub."
- Frank Armitage, Mayor of Princeton
