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.
