British Columbia provincial highway 5A
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
British Columbia provincial highway 5A, the Princeton-Kamloops Highway, is Highway 5's pre-1986 alignment south of Kamloops. Unlike the four-lane Highway 5 freeway, the 182 km-long Highway 5A is only two lanes.
[edit] Route details
Starting in Princeton, Highway 5A goes through 63 km of undeveloped land north to its junction with Highway 97C eastbound at Aspen Grove. Highway 97C westbound from Aspen Grove follows Highway 5A northwest for 23 km to its first crossover of Highway 5 at Merritt. Highway 5A circles around Merritt for 7 km to its second crossover of Highway 5 in the north area of Merritt. Back to the east of Highway 5, Highway 5A goes north northeast for 89 km, passing through the community of Quilchena en route, before terminating within Kamloops at its junction with highways 5, 1 and 97 (which are "triplexed" at the point where 5A terminates).
