Watch for Cone Zoned areas: Mainroad
Summer brings increased traffic to our roads and highways.
Mainroad Contracting reminds motorists and residents to slow down and move over for highway maintenance and all roadside workers. It’s the law.
Watch for Cone Zoned areas where East Kootenay crews are working to complete summer season maintenance activities including:
– continuous rest area maintenance and garbage pick up;
– ditch maintenance at various locations;
– dust control;
– grading on gravel roads;
– gravelling;
– patching potholes;
– paving in numerous areas;
– road base repair in Fernie;
– shoulder widening on Fording River Road;
– sign installation and repairs.
“To minimize impact to the driving public especially on Fridays, we aim to schedule maintenance during non-peak traffic periods. Please visit DriveBC.ca before heading out,” asks Al Sander, General Manager for Mainroad East Kootenay Contracting LP.
When approaching road maintenance crew, please slow down and drive with extreme care.
Stay alert, minimize distractions and show respect for the person working at the side of the road. Every day thousands of workers in British Columbia are depending on drivers to keep control of their vehicle in a Cone Zone.
Report accidents, unsafe road conditions and road kill to our 24 hour hotline: 1-800-665-4929.
