This is proving to be a popular, cost-effective and environmentally friendly method of road resurfacing.
Traffic can start using the new road surface only an hour after the work is finished.
That means less delay. It's also less expensive than traditional methods and does less damage to the environment because it recycles existing pavement. These roads are also popular with people travelling to Lake Cowichan, Mesachie Lake and Honeymoon Bay to enjoy the excellent sports fishing. Work is scheduled to start in the first week of September, weather permitting, and to finish in October. This project will be managed by the Ministry of Transportation and Highways on behalf of the BC Transportation Financing Authority and is part of the provincial government's economic plan.
