When: Monday, October 28 to November 30, 2024
Time: Daily between 7:00 am and 5:30 pm
Where: Metchosin Road between Royal Commons and Ryder Hesjedal Way
What: Water main construction along the east side of Metchosin Road
Water main works will be occurring along the east side of Metchosin Road between Royal Commons and Ryder Hesjedal Way.
This work will allow for installation of a new hydrant on the east side of Metchosin Road to support fire safety at the Beachlands. Water services will be installed at the same time.
Most of the works will be constructed along the shoulder or on private lands; therefore, Traffic Control Personnel (TCP) will only be on site when necessary.
Two-way traffic will be maintained as often as possible with some limited single lane alternating traffic when necessary. For the water works that cross Metchosin Rd, single lane alternating traffic will be implemented over a three-day period during which some delays are expected. See attached maps for water crossing location.
All emergency vehicles will be given immediate and priority access through the job site at all times. At the end of each workday, travel lanes and sidewalks are scheduled to be re-opened for public use.
For the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, please obey the on-site TCPs as well as the posted signage.
