Work is set to begin on safety upgrades to Admirals Road in Esquimalt.

The construction will take place between Hallowell Road and Maple Bank Road, which the Province says will improve safety and access for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists near the Songhees Wellness Centre.

Improvements will include widening the road for a new sidewalk, curb and gutter, and upgrades to the current stormwater drainage system. The intersections of Maple Bank, Hallowell and SeeB次元官网网址橬uB次元官网网址橮in will also be improved with an enhanced turn lane at SeeB次元官网网址橬uB次元官网网址橮in Road and construction of a new southbound left-turn lane. New traffic lights will be installed at Maple Bank Road as well.

B次元官网网址淚 look forward to seeing this project get underway as it will benefit residents and others who use this important community connection with safer intersections and more room for pedestrians and cyclists as well,B次元官网网址� said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Claire Trevena.

The project B次元官网网址� expected to cost $3.45 million B次元官网网址� is slated for completion by the end of this year.

Officials hope to ensure traffic delays are minimal during construction, particularly during peak periods. One lane will be kept open to traffic in each direction between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Outside of these hours, drivers can expect single-lane alternating traffic at certain times.

Work may also take place overnight.
