Utility work being conducted along Highway 97, north of Quesnel, will briefly delay motorists.
BC Hydro is conducting Vegetation Management along the highway between Umiti Pit Road and Hush Lake Road. The work started on July 3 and is expected to be completed on July 30.
The highway in that section will be reduced to single-lane alternating traffic while the chipping and brushing work is being done daily from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Minor delays up to 15 minutes are expected to occur in both directions.
DriveBC is asking motorists to be aware of signage and road work personnel while traveling through the area.
This work is being done in addition to the construction work being done in the southbound lane between Pollard Road and Umiti Pit Road. A lane remains closed, and won’t be reopened until September.
