More of Comox Avenue will reopen next week as crews work to ease traffic during the long-running Comox Valley Sewer Conveyance Project.
A new roundabout at Comox Avenue and Glacier View Drive will partially open by the end of Friday, Oct. 31.
Eastbound access into the town will remain closed, while westbound traffic is expected to flow through.
A temporary traffic light will be installed at the roundabout to manage traffic volumes, help maintain flow for westbound vehicles and direct local traffic eastbound.
Delays should be expected for east-bound travel, and the section is not intended for heavy commercial trucking.
Comox Avenue and Comox Road have been operating under one-way traffic conditions since March, with vehicles directed west toward Glacier View Drive.
The official detour route via Ryan Road will remain in place until construction of the Rodello Street roundabout is complete and remains the fastest route from Courtenay to Comox.
While traffic is limited, two-way bike and pedestrian access will be maintained through the construction zone on Comox Avenue, continuing into the Town of Comox.
The partial opening aims to accommodate local commuters on Comox Hill and ease pressure on Ryan Road traffic.
