The $95-million project involves widening about 3.8 kilometres of the Trans-Canada Highway between the McKenzie Avenue interchange and the highway off-ramp to Colwood.
A $95-million rapid-bus-lane project will allow buses to travel more quickly between the West Shore and Victoria when it’s completed in the fall of 2027.
“That’s why this project comes at just the right time to add even more incentives, even more reasons to use public transit.” Construction will take the better part of two years due to traffic-management considerations, Fleming said, stressing “we don’t want to snarl traffic.” Plans include converting and widening the existing shoulders on Highway 1, as well as realignments to ramps and ramp-terminal intersections, installation of roadside barriers, additional signage, warning flashers, and construction of a new pedestrian-cycling bridge across Craigflower Creek.
“This is fantastic — this is just a win-win for all of the West Shore,” Goodmanson said. “Hopefully years from now we get buses all the way up to Veterans Memorial on the side of the highway, but for now I’m happy to take this.”
