Campbell River’s Rockland Road is set to close next week as the city continues work on its Waterfront Project.
Starting this coming Monday, June 22nd through to November, the road will be closed to vehicle traffic between Galerno Road and Highway 19A.
Local driveway and pedestrian access will be maintained, and there will be no change to traffic along Galerno Road.
The city says this is a part of the Highway 19A upgrades project, with construction to be underway between Rockland Road and the Big Rock Boat Ramp.

The road closure will allow crews to complete a water main installation, build a new roundabout and provide storage and staging space for the contractor.
Two-lane traffic will generally be maintained along the highway through the construction period, but single-lane alternating traffic may be needed at times.
If you drive along the highway, expect traffic delays with reoriented travel lanes, temporary surfaces and reduced speed zones.
The city is asking drivers to use alternative routes during this time.
