CVRD - Sewer Open Houses

Upgrades to the Comox Valley’s sewer service are well underway, and the Comox Valley Regional District is sharing updates on how traffic will be managed during construction.

The Sewer Conveyance Project will see nine kilometres of new sewer forcemain installed from the Courtenay Pump Station, through Comox, and onto the wastewater treatment plant on Brent Road. The work will happen along key traffic corridors, and the project team has completed assessments to create traffic plans to maintain flow.

For most of next year, that will require one-way vehicle traffic along Comox Road, headed westward. Vehicle traffic heading into Comox from Courtenay (eastbound) will be redirected up Ryan Road to Lerwick Road. Bicycle travel will be maintained in both directions on Comox Road.

Charlie Gore, Senior Manager of Capital Projects Delivery, says the plan will keep the best flow for traffic, and they’re focused on making sure people are prepared so they know the route and can plan their commute accordingly. He acknowledges that the work will have an impact on many people.

Two open houses are scheduled for later this month - June 18th and 19th - both at the CVRD Civic Room.

A recorded presentation regarding the traffic plans is also available for viewing online at engagecomoxvalleyrd.ca/sewerconveyance
