Despite delays, both Ucluelet and Tofino have seen a rebound in visitors since the highway reopened to single-lane traffic, says Ucluelet’s mayor
A section of Highway 4 will close completely for several hours each day near Cameron Lake to stablize a cliff that has been weakened by a wildfire, the Transportation Ministry said Tuesday.
The wildifre, which is under control and covers 229 hectares, compromised the slope and caused rocks and trees to fall onto the highway, leading to the full closure in June. That was followed by the opening of a narrow gravel detour route from the Lake Cowichan area to Port Alberni, via the Bamfield area.
It is important to get the highway back to normal for people and businesses in the affected areas, said Josie Osborne, MLA for Mid Island-Pacific Rim. “It’s open on weekends, it’s open evenings, there’s still the detour route that’s open and there’s still the option of people aiming for that two-hour opening 11:30 a.m. to 1:30.”
