The $7.9 million project will cover 27 kilometres of highway, starting about 60 kilometres north of the junction and continuing north to Burrage Air Strip.
This is one of nine major highway projects in northern B.C. totalling and covering nearly 390 kilometres of highways and side roads, the goal of the Hwy 37 project is simply smoother and safer driving conditions.
