As a resident of Pritchard who travels frequently to Kamloops, I anticipated the highway project from Monte Creek eastward with considerable dread.
Endless lines of stopped traffic, impatient drivers (I’m one) grumbling and swearing, frustrated flag people fearing for their very lives . . . you get the picture.
What a blessed surprise this project has been!
The contractor, Brentwood Enterprises, has kept traffic flowing smoothly, with minimum disruption, even through the busy tourist season.
The road I must travel, Martin Prairie Road, had a detour for only a few weeks, while the overpass area was under development, a small price to pay for the safety and convenience we are going to enjoy with a full interchange, as opposed to the level crossing that was initially presented to residents.
In an age when there is no end to the things we have to bellyache about, it’s nice to be able to extend kudos to Brentwood and their employees.
And no, I am not a shareholder, nor do I have any other connection to the contractor.
