Trans-Canada detour opens in NW

A traffic headache for drivers heading to the mountain parks is about to get a bit of pain relief.

After months of construction, the detour route on the Trans-Canada Hwy near Canada Olympic Park will open Wednesday.

It takes drivers around the big interchange project at Bowfort Road and has a speed limit of 50 km/h.

Since May, drivers have experienced major delays in the area, especially on weekends heading to and coming back from the mountains.

The detour will be in place for over a year until the new interchange opens in late 2016.
