Update June 2nd, 2021:

 

TRAVEL TO GOLDEN WILL BE UNAFFECTED DURING THE WINTER 2024. NO CONSTRUCTION STOPPAGES PLANNED UNTIL SPRING 2024.

 

An informative calendar of all up to date road closures and construction delays can be found at www.kickinghorsecanyon.ca/calendar

The Trans-Canada Highway through the Kicking Horse Canyon is both spectacular and challenging. Since 2003, much of the 26-kilometre stretch between Yoho National Park and Golden has been improved to a modern 4-lane standard. Only 5 kilometres of winding 1950's-era 2-lane highway remained and the majority of the work has been completed. 
 

 

 Visit the Highway Status Calendar and DriveBC before travelling.

If there is a closure the scenic combination of Highways 93 and 95 will provide a safe and easy alternative route to the Golden area. Plan for slightly more than an hour additional travel time.

Find detailed information about the Kicking Horse Canyon Project at www.kickinghorsecanyon.ca, and visit www.DriveBC.ca for road conditions when planning your trip.
