Fulford-Ganges Road Construction Update – May 28th, 2025 What’s Been Done Since May 14: There’s been good progress on the road work over the past couple of weeks. Crews have:
Traffic Delays – Getting Better: After some long waits earlier this month, traffic flow has started to improve. Many local businesses have told us things feel a bit smoother—and the contractor and Ministry are working hard to keep things moving. They’ve added extra Traffic Control Personnel (TCPs), improved coordination between flaggers, and are closely monitoring queue lengths. While wait times aren’t gone entirely, there’s been a real effort to reduce them, and to make sure emergency vehicles, school buses, and transit can get through as smoothly as possible. What’s Coming Up Next: Paving is scheduled for this Thursday and Friday (May 29–30) on the section south of Drake Road to Alders Avenue. After that, crews will start work on the next stretch between Alders Avenue and Beddis Road. They’ll also be finishing up the concrete block wall for the Lady Minto Hospital Foundation’s housing project at Bittencourt Road. Heads-Up for Drivers: The Digital Message Signs along the route will be updated to let drivers know about upcoming paving work and expected delays. If you can, plan a bit of extra time for your trip. Thanks again to everyone for your patience—this work is moving us closer to a safer, more accessible road for all users. The Salt Spring Chamber will keep sharing updates in our newsletter, on our website and on the Salt Spring Exchange as we receive them.
