Watermain upgrades start June 16 on Boys Road 

Watermain upgrades are scheduled to start in the area, and as a result, delays can be expected starting Jun. 16. 

According to a media release, Hazelwood Construction is starting an infrastructure upgrade project for the Cowichan Tribes water main upgrades and expects the work to be limited to a specific area. 

“The project will be confined to Boys Road, Duncan between the Trans-Canada Highway and Mission Road,” they say. “The work is within the jurisdictions of The City of Duncan, Municipality of North Cowichan, the Ministry of Transportation, and Cowichan Tribes.” 

As a result, they say traffic will be disrupted, but a full closure of the road shouldn’t be needed. 

“It’ll result in traffic disruption and single-lane alternating traffic setups along Boys Road,” they say. “Construction signage and proper traffic control personnel will be in place during any work affecting the flow of traffic.”  

Work is expected to run until Oct. 24.
