#WinterDrivingTip: Watch for black ice. Slow down when approaching icy areas such as shaded areas, bridges and overpasses as these sections of road freeze sooner than others in cold weather. Areas of the road with a thin, almost invisible coating of ice, can cause your vehicle to suddenly lose control when you brake or corner.

Dawson Civil started excavating in Chase, B.C. recently, in preparation for the expansion of the Trans-Canada highway. The project, which is scheduled to be completed near the end of 2022, will see the 3.3 kilometre section widened to four lanes from Chase to Hoffmans Bluff, west of Kamloops. Additional works include the installation of intersections, cattle underpasses and frontage roads. Currently, we are asking travelers to slow down to 80 kilometres per hour when trav...elling through and have scheduled single-lane alternating traffic for the next three days, as we work to create a temporary detour.
