Transportation Sector

The transportation sector in Dawson Creek includes air, road and rail travel. 

Airport

The Dawson Creek Regional Airport is located on the southeast side of the city, seven minutes from downtown. Our airport offers charter services, MedEvac services, a 5000 foot runway, flight planning, competitive fuel rates, under wing camping, and a modern Pilot's Lounge. You will also find free wifi, free parking and an onsite diner. Visit our airport website to learn more.

BC Transit

BC Transit operates two bus routes in Dawson Creek. Bus passes can be purchased in person at City Hall, the Co-op Mall or the School District #59 Offices. 

Roads

Several highways intersect in Dawson Creek, which is located centrally in the Peace Region. This allows for many trucking companies to operate and make a living in the Dawson Creek area.

Bridges

Main bridges throughout the city have undergone upgrades in the past decade including:

  • 10 Street Crossing
  • 15 Street Crossing
  • 17 Street Crossing
  • 102 Avenue Crossing

Highways

Highway 2 runs up and across the City, intersecting with the Spirit River Highway and Alaska Highway. The Province of BC maintains this highway and is responsible for all upkeep. The province recently completed a large crossing upgrade on 8th Street, a main route in Dawson Creek. The crossing replacement created a larger overpass for the dawson creek to flow through, which will reduce pressure on the system during heavy spring rain.

Railways

Dawson Creek is connected by CN Rail to Fort Nelson and the ports of Prince Rupert and Vancouver for freight service.
