Night work on Millstream Road is costing a Langford woman sleep and shifts at work.

Tricia Law has lived in the 2300-block of Millstream Road near the intersection of Treanor Avenue for the past two years.

B次元官网网址淭here has been construction going on all the time in the area since I moved in,B次元官网网址� said Law, who lives in a suite on the property that sits a couple of hundred metres from the road. B次元官网网址淚t seems like they finish blasting in one place and start blasting in another.B次元官网网址�

Although she manages to deal with the noise during the day, the recent spate of night noise B次元官网网址� work being done by BC Hydro to expand its infrastructure B次元官网网址� made it impossible to sleep, she said, and cost her shifts at work. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 pushed me over the edge,B次元官网网址� Law said. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 honking, beeping and banging all night long. I know some of the local businesses are frustrated as well.B次元官网网址�

Law said she contacted the City of Langford about the situation but was told there was nothing they could do. She has also contacted BC Hydro, but said they couldnB次元官网网址檛 provide her with any information about when the work would be finished.

George Henshall, manager of public works for the City of Langford, said he contacted BC Hydro after meeting with Law.

BC Hydro has a community liaison dealing with complaints, he said, adding that the night work portion of the project was expected to be completed last Friday.

The City was told Hydro could only do the work at night because of the amount of daytime traffic along that stretch of Millstream Road, Henshall said. B次元官网网址淚t would take much much longer to do it during the day,B次元官网网址� he added.

Maintaining access for emergency vehicles also played a role in the decision to do the work at night.
