Happy Thursday! Argo crews are out conducting maintenance work throughout our service area. Crews are washing bridges, sweeping highways, & grading back roads in preparation for upcoming dust control work.

When you see our crews, please slow down + give them room to work.

[BC Ministry of Transportation and Transit @TranBC]

Design work towards the permanent repairs to a section of #BCHwy8 ~15kms east of #SpencesBridge expected to start this fall.

Repairs will use a climate-resistant design to withstand future weather-related events to the corridor.

Misconception: My dashboard is lit up + my day time running lights are on. Doesn't that mean my tail lights are also on.

Not exactly - perhaps not even likely.

💦🌧️ Rain mixed with 🌨️❄️snow + ☃️cool temperatures can cause slippery road conditions, which means significantly longer stopping times.

Slow down + increase following distance to at least 4-seconds. #ShiftintoWinter
