Highway 24, also known as the Little Fort Highway or the Interlakes Highway, is a 97-kilometre-long (60 mi) east-west connection between the Cariboo Highway, just south of 100 Mile House, and the Southern Yellowhead Highway at Little Fort. It practically provides a "second-chance" route to travellers heading east from Vancouver who missed the route to the northern part of the province or toward Edmonton.

Although a rural gravel road did exist between 93 Mile House and Little Fort previously, construction under the Highway 24 name on the modern route did not begin until 1974.[1] A dirt highway was open by 1977. Paving and auxiliary feature installation was complete by 1981.
