Salt Spring Bridge Construction: Plan Ahead

0:00It's March 29th. Welcome to Vancouver News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Heads up, folks on Salt Spring Island construction on that new bridge over Fulford Ganges Road kicks back into gear this Monday. The transportation ministry is straight up warning drivers about the layers stretching up to 15 minutes while crews get to work building this key. Link, they might even throw in some weakened shifts if needed, so plan accordingly. That signal timing means pedestrians and cyclists get safe windows to cross when traffic pauses. Drivers are feeling the pinch already with these alerts, but it's all to improve flow long-term on this busy stretch. Passenger vehicles have a solid alternate route to dodge the hassle, keeping things moving. Commercial trucks, though, stick to Fulford Ganges to avoid issues. No major new wrinkles yet, just steady progress toward wrapping it all up in early main. Stay sharp out there, reroute if you can, and we'll keep you posted as this bridge takes shape.
