CRD Bay Street Bridge Closure
The City of Victoria will begin work on the Point Ellice Bridge (Bay Street Bridge) to preserve the bridge’s structural integrity.
Construction is scheduled to start in the second week of February and will take approximately four months to complete. The work includes replacing the bridge’s expansion joints to accommodate a wider range of temperature changes and upgrading the drainage system, which dates back to 1957.
To complete the upgrades, eastbound vehicle traffic (Victoria West towards downtown) across the bridge will be closed 24/7 for the duration of the project. Westbound traffic, pedestrian and wheelchair access will remain open. Weekend and night work may be scheduled to help complete the project as quickly as possible. Keep up to date with the closure below.
CRD Retaining Wall Repair
The CRD discovered a failing retaining wall on private property above the Galloping Goose Trail.
The failing structure poses a risk to trail users and to critical sewer infrastructure owned by both the CRD and the City of Victoria, and will be closed while the CRD is focused on identifying options to safely to re-open the trail and mitigate risks in the short term, while also evaluating longer-term repair solutions for the privately owned structures. Keep up to date with the CRD’s work below.
