The British Columbia (BC) Department of Transportation said on June 13 that Highway 4, which was closed due to wildfires on the east side of Vancouver Island on June 6, was closed to traffic over the weekend of June 24 or 25.<\/p>\n
However, it will take about a month to fully reopen, and is scheduled for mid-July. The BC Ministry of Transport explained, “The reopening of the highway will be done after confirming that drivers can pass safely.”<\/p>\n
It is announced that the road will be reopened after removing fallen trees and tree fragments scattered on the road due to the fire and carrying out repair work so that it can be safely passed. The reopening will be carried out in stages, and at first, we will implement a method that allows one-way alternating traffic while ensuring safety.<\/p>\n
Even after the gradual resumption, detours can be used until the full resumption.<\/p>\n
Checkpoints are set up on detours to provide passers-by with the information they need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
