Anyone saying the Coquihalla won't open until late next year are probably being a bit dramatic. Fully reopened? Of course not. Single lane alternating traffic in a couple months? Maybe. Two-way traffic on one carriageway? Before the spring if they push hard through the winter, especially in the areas South of the summit where the weather is warmer. When speed is paramount and you skip the typical tendering/construction process, you can do a lot in a short time.
