Northwestern
road work
worth $31M

Four lane project
set for Smithers

THE PROVINCIAL government is spending less on
highways in the northwest this year than last, but more
than two years ago.

Projects totalling $31 million were officially an-
nounced last week taking in the area from the Queen
Charlotte islands to Smithers and up Hwy37 toward the
Yukon border, , ;

Most of the $31 million will be spent on a four-lane
highway section through Smithers.

But just under $5 million will be spent repaving a
troubled section of Hwy16 east of Terrace.

Some of the projects on the $31 million list already
come under previously announced plans, including the
start of a road from Greenville to Kincolith in the Nass
Valley and widening the Nisga'a Highway as it winds
alongside Lava Lake.

The $31 million for this year in the northwest is less
than the $37.6 million spent last year but more than the
$27 million spent for 1999-2000,

Also taking place in the Terrace area is the extension

of the climbing lane on Hwy16 55km east of Terrace at a M aking it level
