Came back from north of Kamloops via Highway 1, no problem areas for the most part. Some road construction both east and west of Golden - pick your lines as best as possible is all I can say but you should be fine. Highway 97A south from Sicamous is somewhere you might have to be careful - at least one bridge was washed out down there and replaced with a temporary structure, not sure what that will be like, maybe go through Salmon Arm if you're worried.

Also, there's road construction west of Lake Louise, but again shouldn't be an issue - we experienced a 1 hour delay this past Sunday (July 22) due to road closures, traffic was probably backed up about 5-6 kilometers eastbound. Actually this delay provided some entertainment at Wapta Lake in the form of a distracted asian lady driver who obviously wasn't paying attention and rear ended someone's big fancy ski boat - buried the prop well into her hood and rad.
