The highway will be closed in both directions on the nights of July 25, July 29 and Aug. 7 for placement of steel girders, but a detour will be available
Work on the Keating overpass on the Pat Bay Highway has reached the halfway point, with steel girders that will support the central overpass due to be installed.
A detour route along Tanner Road, Central Saanich Road and Island View Road will be available during the planned closings. The Transportation Ministry said drivers should expect delays of up to 20 minutes, and vehicles that are more than 2.6 metres wide won’t be allowed on the detour route. “It’s good news to certainly get to this milestone in the project,” said Central Saanich Mayor Ryan Windsor. “There’s a significant uptick in the activity towards completion.”
“I’ve been trying to make everyone aware that if they are doing overnight shipping on a routine basis that there will be an impact.”Janelle Staite, deputy director for the south coast region, said the ministry has also been in discussions with B.C. Ferries about potential impacts of the detour on highway traffic.
