Traffic passes the summit of the Malahat Highway. About 22,300 vehicles travel the route every day.

Falling rock briefly blocked Highway 1 between Westshore Parkway and Finlayson Arm Road on Sunday.

Emcon Services Inc. posted a notice on social media mid-afternoon that the highway was closed in both directions while a geo-technical investigation was carried out.

Shortly afterward the company announced that area had been assessed and the highway was open to traffic in both directions.
