Vancouver Island roads see major upgrades as summer construction begins

As summer 2025 begins, crews start a series of government-funded road upgrades and bridge repairs across Vancouver Island to improve traffic and safety.
These initiatives are part of yearly efforts led by British Columbia’s transportation authorities in collaboration with the federal government to upgrade aging infrastructure.
Key works include a $95-million Highway 1 upgrade between McKenzie Avenue and Colwood interchange, and a $76.8-million Keating Cross Road flyover nearing completion in Central Saanich.
Minister Mike Farnworth stated that each project contributes to creating a safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly transportation system that enhances traffic flow and expands access to transit.
These projects aim to provide safer, more efficient travel for drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and transit users, supporting community connectivity through at least 2027 construction timelines.
