Drivers in View Royal should expect delays at 181 Island Highway on Wednesday, May 6 and Thursday, May 7, 2026, as the Town of View Royal Engineering Department has issued a traffic advisory for underground utility installation at that location. The work will take place between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on both days.

During the work, the traffic signal lights on Island Highway at View Royal Avenue will be turned off and controlled by traffic control personnel. Flaggers will direct single lane, alternating traffic through the work zone, and traffic control staff will be on site to assist pedestrians, cyclists, and direct traffic flow. Emergency vehicles will be given priority access as needed.

Drivers are asked to slow down and take extra precautions when travelling through the area. For map-based road information, residents can check bc.municipal511.ca. Inquiries can be directed to the Town of View Royal Engineering Department at 250-479-6800 or [email protected].
