Kicking Horse Canyon Project Phase 4 - COMPLETED!

The Trans Canada Highway through the Kickign horse Canyon is fully open with 4 lanes and 100 km/h speed limit. There is no further construction required for this project!

The 26 km of the Trans-Canada Highway between Golden and Yoho National Park is being upgraded to a modern four-lane design.  These upgrades have made vast improvements for a safer and more efficient journey to Golden. The first three phases of the project are completed and this included a New Park Bridge and the Kicking Horse Rest Area.  Only 5 kilometres of winding 1950's-era 2-lane highway remain and work began in spring 2021 to complete the transformation.

 

 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.
