The B.C. government has announced a $2.5-billion transportation plan to maintain and replace infrastructure and support trade.

The Transportation Ministry says the strategy involves input from First Nations, local governments, chambers of commerce and port and airport authorities.

The ministry says nearly 13,000 responses from a public survey suggested B.C. residents want highways, roads, bridges and side roads kept in good condition.

The government says the 10-year plan will also involve the trucking industry in improving the safety, efficiency and economics of the sector.
