Upgrades valued at $8 million will be coming to three highways near Vernon this year, improving safety and travel for local residents, visitors and commercial drivers. Sections of Highway 6 between Hamilton Flats and the top of Mine Hill, approximately 17 kilometres east of Lumby, will be resurfaced, improving travel on the link between the Okanagan and Kootenays. This $2.19-million contract for the Highway 6 resurfacing work has been awarded to Okanagan Aggregates from Armstrong. Work will start this summer and is scheduled to be completed by mid-September. In Spallumcheen, the Highway 97A/Eagle Rock Road intersection will get safety improvements. Protected left turn bays and a southbound deceleration lane will be added to improve safety for highway travellers and those accessing Eagle Rock Road. The intersection will also be upgraded to improve sight lines. This project will go to tender this spring. Highway 97 between 15th Avenue and Bailey Road will be resurfaced this year. The highway will be resurfaced for a distance of approximately nine kilometres. This project will also go to tender in the spring.
