What’s worse is that two major highways in BC’s interior meet in Cache Creek. And the detours to take alternate highways are wide. Though, today they’ve opened it up to single lane traffic so people can get through again. But this is just like flooding we had in the Fraser Valley two years ago. All it takes is one highway to get closed for a bit and it can majorly affect the whole province be Hase there are only so many routes to and from the coast.
Would if we could.

We learned all about that when we had those terrible floods on Hwys 5, 99, etc in 2021 that destroyed so much. BC has very challenging terrain when it comes to our transport routes so we are limited as to where we can even build highways.
Gosh, remember the days before Hwy5 was built? To go from lower mainland to interior there was only #1/#97 or #3/#97. The long way or the longer way depending on your destination.
