Drivers are advised that Highway 4 will be closed between Port Alberni Summit and Chalet Road on Wednesday (February 25)  from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Crews are completing repairs to the shoulder and bank erosion next to the westbound lane near Cameron Lake. A full daytime closure is required to remove equipment and demobilize the slope-stabilization project in the area.

The work must take place during the day to ensure workers have the best visibility of overhead hazards.

The ministry has co-ordinated with local emergency services to ensure there is a process in place for emergency transport through the site during the closure.

Drivers are asked to obey traffic-control personnel and plan accordingly.
