Temporary culvert and retaining wall in Tunnel Hill section of the highway easily handled recent heavy rains after the stretch was badly damaged by last November’s downpours and flooding
Temporary fixes to the Tunnel Hill section of the Malahat Drive easily handled recent heavy rains after the stretch was badly damaged by last November’s downpours and flooding.
Last November, heavy rains washed out approximately 50 metres of the northbound lane, damaged a culvert outlet and compromised several sections of a retaining wall along the highway, about a kilometres north of Finlayson Arm Road. Staite said the culvert failure triggered a “sort of domino effect.” The permanent repairs began in July, with an expected completion date of next summer. The total project budget is $24 million, with a construction contract awarded to Windley Contracting worth $14.9 million.
Much of the work is expected to be out of sight of passing motorists, on the east side of the highway and the downhill slope toward Saanich Inlet.
