The province says it's too early to provide an estimate of the costs associated with the Highway 4 closure.
British Columbia’s enormous effort to speed the partial reopening of Highway 4 on Vancouver Island — closed for upwards of two weeks due to a wildfire — is another illustration of the dramatic costs tied to climate impacts, says an economist.
The route was closed for safety reasons June 6 after a wildfire tore across steep, rocky bluffs above the highway stretching along Cameron Lake, dropping charred trees and large rocks hundreds of feet onto the roadway. The province’s costs to repair Highway 4 from the wildfire won’t be anything near those incurred two years ago. But they will still be significant and are another example of the increasingly expensive and frequent problems associated with the climate crisis, he said.
MacMillan Provincial Park and the day-use parks at Cameron Lake and Beaufort in Little Qualicum Falls are temporarily closed to ease traffic congestion until the highway fully reopens mid-July.
