A section of Otter Point Road, between Sarah Drive and Butler Road, will be closed at the beginning of September as part of work to upgrade the road.
The section will be closed from 7 a.m. on Sept. 1 to 7 p.m. on Sept. 2 to allow for the installation of a culvert crossing 400 metres east of Butler Road North at Poirier Lake.
The road will be barricaded with single-lane access open for emergency vehicles, BC Transit and residents.
Traffic-control personnel located at Butler Road North and Sarah Drive will speak to the drivers of each vehicle to confirm the address of their destination and allow residents to pass.
People who are not residents will be detoured. Drivers wanting to access Butler Road North must use Kemp Lake Road. There will be no pedestrian or bicycle access.
Traffic will re-open to two-way operation on Thursday, Sept. 3 at 7 a.m.
The culvert installation is part of work to upgrade two kilometres of Otter Point Road between the Sooke municipal boundary and Kemp Lake Road.
The work includes widening and paving the existing shoulders and improving the road’s alignment, making the road safer for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.
More information on the Otter Point Road shoulder-widening project is available here.
