Daytime travel along Highway 4 will be faster and easier this summer now that top-of-the-hour closures have been eliminated on Kennedy Hill.

Following consultation with local residents, tourism operators and local businesses, the daytime closure schedule will remain in place for the Highway 4 – Kennedy Hill Improvement Project.

After hearing strong support from local residents, emergency services and tourism companies, daytime closure windows will continue on the Highway 4 Kennedy Hill improvement project.

In an effort to bring consistent and predictable highway-closure times to the people of Tofino and Ucluelet, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has revised the blasting strategy for the Highway 4 Kennedy Hill Safety Improvement Project.
