B.C. moves forward with third Cariboo road recovery project

QUESNEL, B.C. – The Government of British Columbia is moving forward with realignment of the Kersley-Dale Landing Road near Quesnel, B.C.

The road was closed after landslides caused unstable slopes, a release said. The ministry plans to tender the project in spring 2024 with construction anticipated to begin in fall 2024.

The new alignment, which will use Arnoldus Road, bypasses landslide-prone areas and provides a connection to Highway 97 for the community of Kersley.

The realignment of Kersley-Dale Landing Road is part of the Cariboo Road Recovery Projects program, which restores access to the tens of thousands affected by the hundreds of landslides and road washouts in 2020 and 2021.
