New rest area opens next week, east of Burns Lake

BURNS LAKE—A new rest area is being added on Hwy.16 between Vanderhoof and Burns Lake.

The Savory Rest Area will open to the public next week and is located 45 kilometres east of Burns Lake.

“We want to do everything we can to make the drive along our networks safe, reliable and comfortable for drivers. This new rest area will provide a convenient and safe place for them to pull over to take a break from the road.”—Claire Trevena, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure

The province says that the new rest area will serve those travelling westbound and that the existing Tintagel Rest Area, 15 kms east of Burns Lake, serves those travelling eastbound.
