Drivers on Metchosin Road in Colwood, BC, should expect delays through October 2026 as Don Mann Excavating Ltd. carries out frontage and servicing works south of Ryder Hesjedal Way to the Pelican Pump station. The project started in April and will restrict traffic to a single alternating lane on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Emergency vehicles will always have priority access.
The work is tied to The Beachlands, a $1.2-billion master-planned waterfront community that will eventually bring 2,850 new homes to the area over the next 15 years. These frontage improvements are part of the broader infrastructure upgrades needed to support Colwood’s rapid growth.
Single-lane alternating traffic will be in effect throughout the project, with occasional extended hours as needed. The city advises motorists to plan for extra travel time and to expect delays during construction hours.
Nick Brown, the site superintendent for Don Mann Excavating Ltd., is the main contact for the project. He can be reached at [email protected] or 250-479-8283.
The Pelican Pump station is an existing sewer infrastructure facility that pumps via a forcemain as part of Colwood’s wastewater system. The current project is upgrading utility capacity along this section of Metchosin Road, according to the traffic advisory issued by the City of Colwood on May 28, 2026.
