A new roundabout at Highway 4 and Beaver Creek Road will make travel safer for residents, marina users and tourists heading to and from the west coast of Vancouver Island. A contract has been awarded to Windley Contracting Ltd. Work is scheduled to begin in fall 2025 and take approximately one year to complete. The current unsignalized intersection at the Highway 4/Beaver Creek Road junction will be replaced with a roundabout to reduce congestion, enhance sight lines, support future traffic demands, and eliminate the need for left turns. This will help reduce highway congestion and support commercial, Indigenous and recreational fishers. The ministry continues to work closely with First Nations and the City of Port Alberni as the project moves forward.
