Highways
Given its location at the intersection of two primary highways, 43 and 49, Valleyview has excellent paved access to many major centres. Highway 43 leads to the west, linking the area to Dawson Creek, British Columbia, and the Alaska Highway, as well as the B.C. interior. Highway 49 provides an important link north to the Mackenzie Highway & Peace River, east to Highway 2 [High Prairie/Slave Lake] and south to Edmonton and other points.
In addition to these primary highways, the area is well served by six secondary highways, many of which are paved, and a myriad of local market roads.
