Drivers in View Royal, British Columbia should prepare for slow traffic on a section of Island Highway today, July 9, 2026, as the Town’s Engineering Department carries out curb replacement work at 490 Island Highway.
The Town of View Royal issued a traffic advisory on July 7, warning that while traffic lanes are expected to stay open, intermittent blockages are likely. Traffic control personnel will be in the work zone to help direct cars, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Emergency vehicles will have immediate access through the area if needed, according to the advisory.
This curb replacement is part of the Town’s ongoing road maintenance program. Residents can contact the Engineering Department at 250-708-2258 for more information.
The work comes after a series of other projects on Island Highway this year, including BC Hydro underground transmission work earlier in the spring. BC Transit recently completed RapidBus upgrades along the Island Highway corridor. Drivers are encouraged to plan alternate routes or give themselves extra travel time to avoid delays.
