Jumping Creek to MacDonald Snowshed

Last updated on August 18, 2025

Jumping Creek to Jack MacDonald Snowshed

The project involves the design and construction of improvements to 2.6 km of the Trans-Canada Highway 1 approximately 40 kilometres east of Revelstoke, including rockfall and avalanche mitigation, climate change resiliency and median divider and roadside barrier.

The project is adjacent to the recently completed Illecillewaet and extends to the western end of the MacDonald Snowshed.
