Any chance of having all theses 16mm films professionally restored?

Why could they not have driven the old highway while you still could to do a side by side comparison. How grand would it be to have decent footage of the old highway.

Old highway: 2:32 2:54 3:31 3:43 4:19 4:36 small white line 4:46 4:55 clearly visible next to the Alexandra Tunnel; 1964 5:24 Old Hells Gate Tunnel 5:27 next to Ferrabee 5:55 6:00 - 6:04 6:15 6:27 7:26 South approach to 9 Mile Canyon 7:57 this might be the north approach to 9 Mile Canyon.

I believe Port Moody was asking for rail transport to New Westminster in 1896, and now they finally have it!

That is one scary piece of road. The mountain it is on is fractured rock you can not build a tunnel through nor widen the road bed.

If the photologs program started earlier than 65 there must be footage of what the area looked like before the Hope Slide buried in a warehouse somewhere.

Now we just need 1966 highway 95 Golden to Cranbrook which in those days takes us through Kimberley and should get a little glimpse of the Sullivan mine too. Also the other 2 parts of highway 3A to make it that way's Castlegar to Creston we already have Nelson-Balfour we just need Castlegar-Nelson, the east shore, and hopefully a picture of the Anscomb pulling up. We almost have a complete street view of the Kootenays from 1966 it's amazing that we were using better technology on highways back then than the Americans or the other Canadians.

Thank you for the awesome time machine and for your wonderful archiving which made this possible.

Awesome! I remember driving this several times back in 1966 when I lived in Victoria. It brings back great memories. Thank you so much for posting these important archives. Job well done!

I got chills. Nash Hardware, Lindsays, I wish they had diverted up the Main Street (Commercial). I would love to have seen that. I was hoping for a better shot of the Civic Arena but just saw the upper facade. I was disappointed that the whole Terminal park was completely washed out I saw Safeway, but prior to that I should have seen Dairy Queen with their cool neon ice cream sign and the Putt Putt gold but I just saw a bunch of washed out yellow signs.

Many of those buildings were still there five years ago. :)

Good to know

Is this the "Google Maps" of those days?

Cool that I was part of this project. All the guys working on this bridge deserve huge recognition. This was an incredible project to watch and the hard work and dedication was incredible. Way to go guys. Your medic Allison.

What color was BOB? not orange .!

It would be cool to see it at normal speed.

I still prefer the old highway

Kelowna before it became a concrete jungle.

the film runs too fast

I applied for this position 😊

SO glad I grew up in North Burnaby in the 50's / early 60's.

Nul ...

Put it in real time, or smoothen it out

TY! It is a *beautiful* bridge! and truly a pleasure to drive on.

It's amazing that the Bombi didnt open until the 70s but the connection for it in Castlegar is already being built. Must have looked like a road to nowhere for years though.

If you are looking for a place-marker, the boulder on the left at 26:08 to 26:09 is Google Maps 50.97185643556734, -118.5936212903622

One thing I notice in these is that BC highways seemed to have a lot more metal "guardrail" type barriers back then but we seem to have taken a hard turn back to the old kind of concrete blocks and it seems like BC is now one of the rarest places to see a guardrail on a highway instead of concrete. Was there some kind of major disaster between then and now that got BC to mostly switch back to cement barriers? I know guardrails are (in)famous now for how dangerous they are when improperly installed.

This route is a congested nightmare now. Looks lovely back then 👍

The road from Clinton to 100 Mile has changed quite a bit. It's straightened out with all those those curves removed and 4 lanes now for a lot of it and it bisects the old road. The old alignment still exists and is driveable but it's broken up into individual sections. It's accessible from the new highway.

Amazing how similar the road is today, especially between Cache Creek and Clinton, except for a few passing lanes, its the same road (with much less traffic)

I feel pity for the guy, he works and dig by himself . Help hin

Why if you don’t know how to actually do something would you make a video of it….. Stupidity at the max…. 👎🤬😳

I'm sure the I90 thru the Snoqualmie Pass is nothing for people in the BC lol but for someone from Seattle like me and drives a 26foot box truck through it a lot going to Eastern Washington, it SUCKS and although chains aren't always required there, the electronic signs tell u then u start seeing State Patrol units parked to make sure tires have chains on, they only give u like a 30min limit for putting chains

Gazex is brilliant!

Did anyone else still hear the sound of the lift span as the car went over it on the bridge into Kelowna?

Awesome

we need the crew on the highway rebuild to be put on the TMX..

I think she used the WE a little to loosely, didn't see much equality when we were digging or hammering in the posts, 🤔 but the important thing is WE got it done.🤔👌👌🤫

Thank you to Everyone that got the Coqihalla Highway back open. What an amazing team you have. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Why doesnt anyone show how the chains are laid out on the ground and what needs to facing up on the chains

Can anyone tell me what river or creek is crossed by the bridge at 4:06 ? Im trying to match the bridges to Google Earth and this one stumps me.

Great product, have you seen @T3Ltechnologies

Seems completely unchanged except for the 3a 6 junction. Thankfully this relic highway is still around for all the times the salmo creston closes.
