The project to apply durable road markings using the embedded method to two sites in the southern inland region has been completed.
Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone stated, “We have installed high-tech, embedded road markings along Highway 1 in Kamloops and Highway 97 in Quesnell. These markings are made of a plastic called methyl methacrylate. Embedding these durable markings into the road surface extends the life of road markings in high-traffic areas because they are more resistant to wear from snowplows and other heavy-duty vehicles.”
Permanent centerline and lane markings have been completed on approximately 10 kilometers of Highway 97 in Quesnel, from Quesnel Hydraulic Road to the Highway 26 interchange. Additionally, markings have been completed on 4 kilometers of Highway 1, from the Sagebrush overpass to the Copperhead underpass in Kamloops.
”These more durable, built-in road markings will improve visibility and safety on the roads, and their long-term durability will save taxpayers money,” said Coralie Oakes, Assemblywoman for Caribou North. “I’m pleased to see these improvements made by the City of Quesnell, which will enhance the safety of our residents and everyone who travels through our city.”
Integrated durable road markings improve lane separation, providing safer driving conditions for both citizens and businesses.
