Traffic is expected to be moving along Wilkinson Road by the end of the month.
One of Saanich’s main roadways, Wilkinson closed between Mann Avenue and Greenlea Drive on June 6 to accommodate work on the bridge at Lindsay Street, at an estimated cost of $3.9 million.
Replacement of the 1935 bridge with a seismically safe one is part of a $6.5-million infrastructure package that includes boardwalks, stream restoration, cycling upgrades and a pedestrian bridge over the Colquitz River. The pedestrian bridge is part of an extension of the Colquitz Trail near the Wilkinson trailhead. The District of Saanich has not announced a day for the opening, but it’s imminent.
