Travellers will need to make alternative plans on Aug. 17 and Aug. 24 as Highway 4 near Cameron Bluffs will be closed from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The highway connects Port Alberni, Tofino and Ucluelet to the rest of Vancouver Island and was impacted by the Cameron Lake Bluffs wildfire.
According to DriveBC, these closures will allow crews to remove more than 10 “refrigerator-sized” boulders. So far, they’ve removed 600 tonnes of rock-scaling debris.
The highway is expected to fully reopen to two-way traffic at the end of August.
Highway 4 will continue to be closed for two periods daily, from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., until the work is completed.
DriveBC said there will be no closures overnight or on weekends. For the latest road conditions throughout the province, visit DriveBC.
