Travellers along Highway 4 on Vancouver Island should prepare for prolonged closures as the province begins work to remove loose rocks and hazardous debris along a hillside that was scorched by wildfire near Port Alberni.
The B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure says the highway will be closed at Cameron Lake from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday from July 17 until mid-August, with a two-hour opening to flush traffic between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. daily.
"This is a crucial step to ensure Highway 4 can fully reopen as soon as possible, end single-lane alternating traffic, and keep goods and people moving into our western communities," says a statement from Transportation Minister Rob Fleming.
