Drivers navigating Metchosin Road through Royal Bay should expect delays for the next four months, as work begins to upgrade a stretch of road.
Starting June 9 until Oct. 1, the developer of the Beachlands neighbourhood will be constructing road upgrade works on Metchosin Road, which will include curb, sidewalk, centre median, street lighting and paving.
Work will take place along the east side of the road from south of the Latoria Boulevard intersection to north of the Ryder Hesjedal Way intersection.
During construction – Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. – traffic will be reduced to a single lane, with alternating traffic. Traffic control signage and personnel will be on-site.
Two-way traffic will be reopened after construction hours.
The City of Colwood has asked drivers to reduce speeds and follow directions and the posted signage. If possible, avoid the area if you can by using an alternate route, said the city in a news release.
Access to all properties in the area will be maintained throughout construction, and emergency vehicle access will be maintained at all times.
