The first phase of a project to upgrade the Highway 97 intersection at Stickle Road north of Vernon is now complete.
The site has been converted to a left-in, right-in and right-out intersection, meaning no more left turns from Stickle Road onto the highway, the cause of a number of crashes over the years.
“This intersection in the northern part of Vernon has experienced a significant number of crashes and increased congestion in recent years,” says a Ministry of Transportation news release.
Improvement work included:
– converting Stickle Road at Highway 97 to a left-in, right-in and right-out intersection;
– lengthening the northbound and southbound left-turn lanes on the highway; and
– providing right-turn acceleration and deceleration lanes at the east and west approaches.
