The 3800-block of Quadra Street reopened Friday morning, more than 49-hrs after a massive fire that demolished a condo complex under construction.

The blaze destroyed a 6-storey building that was under-construction.

The District of Saanich says their Fire and Public Works departments continue to secure the scene, clear debris and repair damaged infrastructure.

In a statement, Saanich says "BC Hydro teams worked through the night and were able restore power to the affected area this morning. A telecommunications pole that sustained damage requires removal, with precise timing for this operation still to be determined."

Saanich Police are still investigating the cause of the fire.
