B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation said progress has been made on repairs to the Malahat Highway at Tunnel Hill on Vancouver Island.
Enough progress has been made so no further overnight closures are necessary, the ministry said Thursday.
Single-lane alternating traffic can continue 24 hours a day.
The road was closed earlier this week due to heavy rains. The ministry then announced the highway would be closed from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. to allow time for repairs.
