Highway Information

The highways through Silvermere

Silvermere sits at the junction of Highway 3 (the Crowsnest) and Highway 3A. Both are managed by the BC Ministry of Transportation and Transit, not the City.

• Highway 3 (Crowsnest) runs east-west across southern BC, connecting Silvermere to Millhaven (south), Maple Bay, the Highlands pass, the Crowsnest Pass, and eventually Lethbridge.
• Highway 3A heads north out of Silvermere to Brookvale via the Cedar Junction corridor and the Highwater Dam vicinity.
• Highway 22 connects south to Millhaven along the Silver Lake shore.

Real-time conditions

For current road status, closures, weather, and webcams, the provincial DriveBC service is the authoritative source. It updates frequently and is the one app local commuters keep on their phone in winter.

Who maintains what

Highway sections through Silvermere are maintained by Highlands Road & Bridge under contract to the Province. Specifically, Lakeshore Avenue from 18th Street southward is a provincial highway, not a City road. For potholes, snow concerns, or other issues on those sections, contact Highlands Road & Bridge at 250-555-0150.

City streets and the rest of Silvermere's road network are maintained by City Civic Works. See roads and sidewalks.
