The work, which has been estimated at $25 million -- $5 million for the weigh scale and between $2 million and $3 million for the technology and $18 million for converting about five kilometres of Highway 97 South into four lanes.
The weigh scale will be located at Anderson Road, about a kilometre south of Red Rock, 30 kilometres south of Prince George. Two intersections will have to be rebuilt -- at Red Rock Road near the fire hall and at Anderson Road.
