    Growing up in the Fraser Valley, it's always amazing to see a time when the interior was such a frontier land. I still marvel at the engineering work of building those roads.

    At 0:57, that view of the piece of the Dewdney trail is so familiar. Almost unchanged.

      It's a historic site now I think purposely preserved.

    BC had no paved roads connecting it to the rest of Canada until the Trans Canada Highway over Rogers Pass opened in the early 1960s.

    This movie is an absolute gem. Are there any more of Hope BC?

    wondering at the beginning if this showed part of the highway that would be buried under the hope slide

    Cool old film. I love trying to identify the classic cars, when everyone used to drive one! There seemed to be quite a lot of shoebox Fords. I noticed the white road markings like we have in the UK. When did they go to yellow? Will actually be travelling this route today (16/7/24).

      Yellow center lines became standard in 1965.

      @@blizzy6392 It varied by province. I'm not sure of the year BC changed but looking at pictures from the early 1970's, BC was still had white centre lines, yellow side lines at that time.

    How do you mention the paving of B.C.’s highways without mentioning Flyin’ Phil Gaglardi?

      This is before him. Socreds were elected in 1952. The building of the Hope-Princeton almost took as long as Flyin Phills entire career which was probably a big reason he kept being chosen as highway minister.
      Phill Gaglardi's highway ministry did a lot of R&D to make highways ultimately faster than pre-Socred alignments even though much of the work was done after he was officially out and a nobody. They were basically all the crazy gearheads of BC gathered in one place. It's taken for granted but we have the best engineered corners outside of racetracks on our highways. It's too bad there isnt a full in depth history of the Socreds and the BC Highway ministry but nobody has changed the map of BCand the game of getting around it so much before or since since Dewdney and Douglas.

      @ Thank you. Of course, too long ago. I was thinking Bennett & Gaglardi, and it’s been so long. By the end of the ‘60’s the SoCred’s only kept the name out of habit. The original concept of social credit had long since been abandoned.
