What: BC Hydro installation of underground ducts to expand service capacity in Colwood
BC Hydro has advised the City they will be completing Phase 2 of the Latoria Road Duct Bank. The hierarchy of provincial services like BC Hydro in relationship to local government means that the City has no direct control over most aspects of the planning and scheduling of large infrastructure projects such as this.
Drivers will need to find an alternate route around a closure of Latoria Road between Wishart Road and Quarry Street.
Access to all homes will be maintained. There will be no left turn from Wishart onto Latoria. Drivers exiting the Royal Bay neighbourhood will need to use Metchosin Road.
