A significant fall storm is impacting Vancouver Island. Downed power lines, debris and fallen trees have resulted in multiple highway closures on the island.

Consulting engineers have been honoured for their work to improve transportation in British Columbia, including reconnecting communities on highways damaged in 2021 flooding, improving bus service in Greater Vancouver and improving safety and traffic flow on the Lions Gate Bridge. 

Improved cellular service is coming to B.C. highways 95 and 97 as record investments from the Connecting British Columbia program continue to benefit people throughout the province.

Locals and travellers will soon be able to enjoy the benefits of cellular service along a large stretch of Vancouver Island’s Highway 14.

British Columbia’s provincewide electric vehicle charging network continues to grow with the completion of 12 charging sites and several more on the way.

As a result of today’s fatal accident on Highway 1, all northbound and southbound drivers who were wanting to travel over the Malahat are being detoured via the Pacific Marine Circle Route, until further notice.

The eighth annual Ryder Hesjedal’s Tour de Victoria bike ride will take place on Saturday, Aug. 18, 2018, from approximately 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
