It could be Saturday or Sunday. Seven-kilometre section was closed because of Cameron Bluffs wildfire.
Reopening Highway 4 at midnight on whichever day traffic is permitted again could mitigate the number of vehicles waiting to get through at first, says the managing director of the Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino.
“We are very experienced with single-lane alternating traffic in Tofino and Ucluelet,” due to work on the highway for the past four years, he said. Crews have been working to stabilize the steep slope rising above the highway. Large trees and rocks have been falling down the slope onto the roadway because of the 229-hectare Cameron Bluffs wildfire. The fire is under control and crews are patrolling the area and putting out hotspots.
Big industries banded together to use barges to deliver and carry out materials too heavy to be moved along the detour route. “They had to get creative and partner with other industry to receive the other shipments to keep the mill operating.”
