Too bad that stretch of highway isnt in Ontario. The feds would be all over saving the lives of Ontarians... :unsure:
Seriously though, the BC government is planning on twinning the Caribou Highway between Cache Creek and Prince George, but not the TransCanada. Good call BC...

Well they have been working on the TransCanada, but like I say they're not going about it the right way. I would think the TransCanada should qualify for federal money as it is the countries national hi-way. That stretch from Cache Creek to Prince George is some very easy landscape to build hi-way on, at least as far as B.C. is concerned. So I imagine because it's cheap to build thats why they're doing it. Of course like I say the need is there for both these roads to be 4 lanes now, and it's not gonig to be cheaper to do it 5 years from now. Of course had people had any imagination they would have just built 4 lane hi-ways in the 50's and spent the extra 20% that it would have cost them. [/b][/quote]
It does qualify for federal money, and the feds are putting money towards it's upgrade... they're just starting in Saskatchewan first.....
