New lanes now open on Highway 14 to Sooke

Drivers on Highway 14 now have two lanes in both directions between Connie Road and Glinz Lake Road, as a three-year project to take out dangerous curves on the route to Sooke nears completion.

The Transportation Ministry said Friday that all lanes of Highway 14 were open by midday, with the posted speed limit restored to its previous 60 km/h, up from a construction speed limit of 50 km/h. New median barriers and paint lines are also in place, and bus stops and a new 45-stall park-and-ride are open.

The Highway 14 improvement project, which included 11 kilometres of paving and road-shoulder construction between Otter Point Road and Woodhaven Road, cost $85.7 million, with the federal government contributing up to $30.2 million and the province the remaining $55.5 million.dkloster@timescolonist.com
