Trunk Road curb lane reopen at last

The road is back to two-lane traffic heading into the island

The northbound curb lane along Bowen Island Trunk Road finally reopened on Thursday, bringing its five month closure to an end. 

Paving work took place this week, and the last pylons were removed late in the afternoon on Nov. 10 to return the westbound side of the street to two-lane traffic.

The lane was originally closed in mid-June when a sinkhole was found underneath it. The schedule for completing repair work was revised several times throughout the summer and fall, but the project has now finished as the cold winter temperatures settle in. 

There is still some work to be completed on the adjoining Multi-Use Path (MUP).
