CUMBERLAND, B.C- Drivers travelling along Vancouver Island should be careful on highway bridges for the next two months.
According to a notice from Mainroad North Island, the company’s bridge crew will be doing bridge sweeping and washing operations from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, until mid-June.
The company’s bridge crew for the Mid-Island will be doing the same operations from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, until May 31st of this year.
