Over 400 kilometres of roads in the Southern Interior will be resurfaced in the Southern Interior this year.
Several of the projects planned are in and around the Kamloops area.
There will be resurfacing work done on Highway 5 from the Yellowhead Interchange to CN Junction, the Highway 1 bypass from the Yellowhead Interchange to Columbia Street, as well as areas through the Valleyview corridor and various on and off ramps.
