Motorists travelling over the Malahat this week can expect delays due to overnight closure

Just a heads up if you’re travelling over the Malahat in the wee hours later this week.

In a media release, the province said drivers travelling overnight on Highway 1 through Goldstream Provincial Park this Thursday, November 17th should expect delays as crews undertake geotechnical work.

Work will commence around 10 p.m. Thursday night and wrap-up around 6 a.m. on Friday, November 18th.

The highway will be down to single lane alternating traffic, to allow crews to measure the depth of the bedrock for planning purposes.

Drivers may experience delays as long as 20 minutes.

“Drivers are reminded to drive according to conditions and to observe traffic management personnel and signage,” reminded the province in their media release.
