The one-way traffic pattern change is required as the width of Comox Road is insufficient to safely accommodate two lanes of traffic and the required construction.

All vehicle traffic for the Town of Comox will be detoured onto the official detour route, up Ryan Road and onto Lerwick Road (MAP 2). Traffic lights have been timed on the detour route to enable traffic to continue to flow.
