Connecting a Nation | Crossing the Columbias | Parks Canada

Episode 1 of 4
In British Columbia, the Trans-Canada Highway takes travellers through the Columbia Mountains. As the highway climbs through Rogers Pass National Historic Site and Glacier National Park, it passes beneath 135 avalanche paths. Discover what it takes for Parks Canada to keep Canadians and commercial goods moving through Rogers Pass in winter!
First the railway and then the Trans-Canada Highway connected British Columbia to the rest of Canada across the Columbia Mountains. This avalanche prone area presented significant historical and present-day challenges to keep the national transportation corridor open in winter. Discover the history behind this important transportation route and how the work of previous generations influences Parks Canada’s work today.

How will the snow sheds be rebuilt to handle 4 lanes of traffic in the future? Widening the highway is a badly needed, long overdue upgrade
