Construction projects taking shape in Comox Valley

A pair of significant construction projects are taking shape in the Comox Valley.

The City of Courtenay says the contractor in charge of the 6th Street Active Transportation Bridge project is set up in Simms Park and have begun excavations for foundations.

This project is being supported by more than $5-million in grant funding via the Active Transportation Fund, Growing Communities Fund and Canada Community Building Fund.

Also, the Comox Valley Regional District and BC Transit are partnering on a new transit exchange in downtown Comox at Port Augusta Street and Comox Avenue and plans call for construction to begin next week.

This will prompt a temporary relocation for existing bus stops in the area.

BC Transit says the new exchange will improve transit access, customer comfort and safety, construction is pegged for completion this winter.
