Looks like commuters will have to put up with construction on the new McKenzie Interchange for a while longer.
The ministry of transportation says the interchange is now nearly a year behind schedule. They say the culprit is weather over this past winter. The work was supposed to be completed in the fall of 2018 and cost $85 million. Part of the delay is also due to adjustments made to lessen traffic congestion and noise related to the project.
Remaining work includes construction of ramps, the overpass, and final landscaping.
The interchange will be built as a partial cloverleaf design with the Trans-Canada Highway running below it and is expected to ease Vancouver Island’s worst traffic bottleneck.
