Construction on new transit exchanges in the Comox Valley are set to get underway this summer to help improve safety and customer accessibility.
According to BC Transit, a total of five exchanges will be built across the CVRD including south Courtenay, downtown Courtenay, downtown Comox, North Island College and Oyster River in the Strathcona Regional District.
They say construction will start on two of the exchanges, but it’ll be some time before further details about the next steps will be announced.
“The first two exchanges to be built will start construction this summer at the downtown Comox and North Island College locations,” they say. “Later this month, more information will be shared about the overall project details and timelines.”
With construction comes traffic delays and detours and BC Transit says they’ll be more than happy to reveal them once closer to the construction date.
The project funding was announced in February and a total of $8.8 million was provided by the federal government and the province and BC Transit.
BC Transit says the funding and continued investments will help improve frequent transit across the region
