Improvements to the Millstream Road overpass are back on the agenda.
The City of Langford intends to send the project to tender again on Sept. 11 and if a successful bidder is found, work would tentatively be scheduled for February to April 2018.

Back in May, the City announced the project would be delayed after a single bid came during the first tender. That bid was 25 per cent above the project’s budget so the City decided to postpone the project, citing a busy construction industry for the lack of bids.
The existing bridge deck features one southbound left-turn lane onto the Trans-Canada Highway (towards Victoria) as well as three southbound through lanes. But access to the TCH is often backed up during peak travel times and on weekends.
To help alleviate some of that congestion, these improvements include the installation of a second left-turn lane with fully extended sidewalks, bike lanes and signalized pedestrian crossings. An additional traffic signal will be installed for northbound traffic turning left onto the TCH towards the Goldstream Provincial Park area. Traffic signals along this section of the Millstream Road corridor will also be co-ordinated to help improve traffic flow.
