TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Highway 1 closed overnight July 6-7

Share

BC’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure are advising drivers that Highway 1 will be closed overnight between McKenzie Avenue/Admirals Road and Six Mile Road.

Beginning Thursday, July 6, 2017, at 11 p.m., the closure will last through the night until 5:30 a.m. on Friday, July 7.

Traffic travelling westbound on Highway 1 will still be permitted to turn off the highway onto McKenzie Avenue or Admirals Road.

During this time, drivers are asked to please use alternative routes and allow for extra time. The signed detour route for traffic, including trucks, will be via Admirals Road, Island Highway and Six Mile Road.

Part of an ongoing Project

The closure is the result of ongoing work for the McKenzie interchange project. It’s the result of an effort to ensure the safety of drivers and construction crews while the old pedestrian-cyclist bridge is removed.

The Galloping Goose Trail will remain open, but pedestrians and cyclists should watch for signs and workers.
