Friday, March 16 ~ LANGFORD. TRAFFIC ALERT FOR MARCH 21, 2018
For one day next week — Wednesday March 21 – the City of Langford is asking motorists to avoid use of the Millstream Overpass (Exit #14) during some improvements for traffic signal installation on the overpass and on Hwy 1.
All signals and streetlights in that area will be without power on that day in that commercial area of Langford, says the city’s engineering department.
Motorists travelling southbound on the Trans Canada (TCH/ Hwy 1) can use the Exit 16 Leigh Road interchange. Motorists travelling northbound can use Exit 15 McCallum Road to access the Millstream Corridor.
The work cannot be done at night due to the power supply being offline during the installation from 7 am to about 9 pm. The contractor Raylec Power has indicated they will manage the project so that the street lighting portion does not remain off when dusk occurs later in the day. Sunset is at 7:28 pm PDT on March 21.
Traffic control personnel will be on the overpass working within an approved Traffic Management Plan. Three lane closure trucks and six personnel are anticipated throughout the work zone, or more, to ensure safe passage for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles. Emergency vehicles will be given priority. March 21 is during spring break for schools in the area, with less of a traffic load expected.
The overall Millstream Overpass project is on schedule. aiming to complete by April 30.
