Starting March 2, 2026, the Galloping Goose Regional Trail bridge over Six Mile Road in View Royal, British Columbia, will be closed for nine weeks to undergo major safety upgrades. The bridge is expected to reopen on May 8, 2026, after crews finish replacing the structure to make it more reliable for the community.
A detour will be in place for the duration of the project to help pedestrians and cyclists travel safely around the construction site. The British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is managing the work in coordination with the Town of View Royal, as the project aims to fix safety concerns for the thousands of people who use the trail to commute every day.
This bridge work is part of a larger plan called the Western Gateway Corridor. This project focuses on improving the area along the Island Highway between the Colwood border and the Atkins Interchange to make it easier for people to get around.
The work also connects to the View Royal 2050 community plan for future growth and transportation. Residents who usually use this section of the trail should plan for extra travel time and use alternate routes like Six Mile Road or the Island Highway.
