During construction, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is committed to minimize delays and maximize predictability for all commuters (drivers, transit users, cyclists and pedestrians) by undertaking the majority of work outside of peak traffic periods.  The ministry will not allow lane closures for construction on Sundays, statutory holidays, or during the hours of 5:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.  Nighttime work may include 15-30 minute traffic stoppages and advance notice will be provided. The contractor may work throughout the night for some activities, but every effort will be made to keep noise minimal for nearby residents.

Regular updates and advance notification will be provided as needed through DriveBC, social media, traffic advisories, and changeable message signs.

In addition, ministry staff will be monitoring traffic throughout to ensure any delays related to construction are minimal.
