Both Major highways in western Canada pass through Kamloops. The TransCanada highway passes through the Fraser valley from Vancouver in the west, and continues east through the rest of BC via [wiki=0ab0133b84555fb49f90b41f77d985eb]Salmon Arm[/wiki], [wiki=040be2815080fb3f378cdbd940d6a110]Revelstoke[/wiki], the [wiki=6360419fcfa0b613cdd73756cf880e70]Rogers Pass[/wiki], [wiki=00e5f692b27447f6114a92eedfced096]Golden[/wiki], and onto [wiki=d7a5be172f77453b4400144c8b66df1a]Alberta[/wiki] via [wiki=471d13668d93814d32004c7e3ed3c508]Banff[/wiki] and [wiki=1e4eb05040e68d9312eb6ed016eaa4d8]Calgary[/wiki].
The YellowHead #5 highway heads north from Kamloops to [wiki=dc0cc254de9d367b611cba6ea88f629d]Jasper[/wiki] and [wiki=25d43c379dc973b097d7d3ee052d7d2a]Edmonton[/wiki].
The Coquihalla #5 was originally built for Expo 86 in [wiki=38278119f2c41ca7aedcbc55eabf73cd]Vancouver[/wiki]. It was a toll highway up until September 2008, when it was unexpectedly announced that the toll was being lifted immediately, and the toll booths were taken down. This is a boost to Interior British Columbia and welcomed by many. The Coquihalla provides a much quicker route from [wiki=38278119f2c41ca7aedcbc55eabf73cd]Vancouver[/wiki] to Kamloops. (Approx 4 hrs by car) This route take you through [wiki=965f463e9b995be6d0ccd45f90d570ea]Hope[/wiki] and [wiki=c9ce09edec407346a358bc6bfe0b5dde]Merritt[/wiki] and is considered less scenic than the TransCanada route. The downside of the high altitude road is that it can become dangerous in the winter as sudden weather changes may make the road icy, snow covered or impassible (there is actually a popular Canadian reality TV series titled Highway Thru Hell, which is primarily about vehicle rescue and recovery operations on the Coquihalla).
