Quesnel Transportation Study
Study Outcomes
The study identified projects to meet transportation needs in the area.
Highway 97/Front Street Safety Improvements (Completed October 2018)
New laning configuration:
- One lane northbound
- One lane southbound
- A centre left-turn lane at controlled intersections between Moffat Bridge and River Park Road
Quesnel North-South Interconnector
A Quesnel North-South Interconnector allows commercial vehicles to bypass the downtown core. This would increase safety and reduce congestion.
