The Malahat was briefly closed in both directions again Wednesday night near Goldstream Park.

Drive BC first reported the closure at 8:43 p.m. due to debris in the road, but less than half an hour later announced the road had been reopened in both directions.

This is the second time in the past few months that Highway 1 between Victoria and Nanaimo had been closed for loose rocks.
