Travellers heading west on Highway 16 this summer can expect to hit construction delays just past Vanderhoof.
On Thursday the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure announced a 19-kilometre section of the highway between Vanderhoof and Engen will be seal coated.
The $1.2-million project is expected to start later this summer, the ministry statement said. Drivers can expect delays and single-lane, alternating traffic over the course of the work, which is expected to take a week.
Seal coating involves applying new material over the existing pavement to extend the life of the road and improve driving conditions on the road surface.
The ministry is reminding drivers to obey construction-zone speed limits and directions from traffic control personnel.
