The Cariboo Connector has the traffic that highway 1 had when it was twinned between Chilliwack and Hope, and growing rapidly every year. If they don't do it properly the first time, it becomes prohibitively expensive, and given the long distances from anything up there, it's even more important to have fast, efficient highways in the 21st century.
