Some congestion was initially reported around McCallum Road (the Costco Crush) and near Westshore Town Centre, but that started to subside at around noon.
Traffic is dying down on McCallum Road heading into Costco and there are parking spaces available for those that need to stock up before the weekend!

Construction zone speed limits are still in effect on the Malahat, but the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has opened a second northbound lane to accommodate summer demand.

For the rest of the summer, long weekends will see two northbound lanes and one southbound lane from Friday afternoon through Monday evening. Contractors will not be working from Friday morning until Tuesday night during the long weekend.
Local police forces are also actively enforcing the construction speed zones and drivers are reminded to use caution and obey the posted speed limit of 60 kilometres an hour at all times.
