There was a party atmosphere in Port Alberni Saturday, as Highway 4 re-opened to single lane traffic, after nearly three weeks of closure.
Posted: Jun. 24, 2023 5:41PMThere was a party atmosphere in Port Alberni Saturday, as“It’s so great to be in such a great, warm town. Even with the adversities we face, the town comes together,” said Lance Lapointe, as the country singer and Port Alberni resident performed at ‘Port Day’ in Port Alberni.
“It’s been really tough, so hoping that they’ve opened it up now, if we can get it fully opened would make a big difference to us,” said Gwen Lowe, manager of the Port Alberni Farmers Market. “You don’t know that it’s going to stay open. Soon as the wind comes up they shut it down again and as soon as some rocks fall or some trees fall they’ll shut it down again,” said Port Alberni resident Bob Welsh.The threat of further closures on the vulnerable stretch of Highway 4 is top of mind with Port Alberni businesses that rely on freight.
