Traffic Advisory: Construction Near Highway 14 and Church Road (July 20-August 29, 2026)

Starting July 20, 2026, construction is scheduled to begin for required frontage upgrades associated with The Bayshore development at 6569 Sooke Road, near the intersection of Church Road. 

The work includes improvements intended to support safer and more accessible travel along the corridor. 

Scope of Work 

• Constructing a new concrete sidewalk 
• Installing a dedicated bus pullout 
• Placing new asphalt 
• Upgrading streetlighting 
• Adjusting lane configurations to improve alignment 

Work Hours and Timeline 

• Anticipated timeline: July 20 to August 29, 2026 
• Weekday Hours: Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. AND 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
• Weekend Impact: No night work on Saturdays or Sundays is currently anticipated 

The District recognizes that overnight construction can be disruptive for nearby residents, particularly when equipment, backup alarms and work lighting are required. We sincerely appreciate the patience and understanding of neighbours as crews work overnight to reduce impacts on daytime travel, businesses and commuters. 

Traffic Impacts and Driver Information 

Roadside signage has been placed along Highway 14 to advise drivers of the upcoming construction. 

Traffic conditions will change as construction progresses. Drivers should expect:

• Two-way traffic to be maintained during daytime hours whenever possible 
• Single-lane alternating traffic during overnight work on Highway 14 
• Reduced speeds and changing lane configurations near the work zone 
• Possible delays, particularly during evening travel 
• Traffic-control personnel and construction signage directing road users safely through the area  

Please slow down, remain alert and follow all directions from traffic-control personnel. Allowing additional travel time will help reduce frustration and keep workers and other road users safe. 

Construction schedules may change due to weather, site conditions or regulatory approvals. Updates will be shared as further information becomes available. 

The District thanks residents, nearby businesses and everyone travelling through the area for their patience and care while these infrastructure improvements are completed.
