The announcement was made this morning, just over 15 years after the Highway of Tears Symposium ended in Prince George. One of the 33 recommendations from the symposium was to have cellular coverage along the highway as a safety measure.
The provincial and federal governments are providing $11.6-million for the entire project. Rogers will get $4.5-million of that funding. The project will include twelve new towers that will provide 252-kilometres of coverage that will close the remaining gaps, and boost signal strength. The Boulder Creek, Basalt Creek, and Saunderson Point rest areas will also get cellular coverage.
