Potholes on B.C.’s Coquihalla Highway Worry Drivers

A Kamloops woman, Kari-Anne Flatmark, expressed concerns about dangerous potholes on the Coquihalla Highway, stating that a serious accident could occur, especially after she blew a tire hitting one such pothole. Other drivers, including longhaul trucker Harman Sidhu, echoed her worries, describing the highway conditions as hazardous and lacking warning signs. Maintenance manager Dave Duncan noted that freeze-thaw cycles have worsened the pothole situation, with crews repeatedly repairing the same holes. The Ministry of Transportation stated that patrols and repairs are ongoing, urging drivers to remain cautious.
