Single-lane alternating traffic is expected to be moving along the highway by the weekend of June 24-25, the Transportation Ministry says
Single-lane alternating traffic is expected to be moving along Highway 4 by the weekend of June 24, the Transportation Ministry says.
Provincial officials say it could be mid-July before the highway linking the east and west coasts of Vancouver Island is fully reopened. Debris continues to plummet down the steep slope above the 1.5-kilometre stretch of highway most affected by the 254-hectare fire, the ministry said, noting trees destroyed by the fire and rocks the size of coffee mugs have come crashing down.
“Although this section of highway is relatively short, the impact of the fire has been significant,” Transportation Minister Rob Fleming said Tuesday at a news conference.
