Highway 19 Repair - Port McNeill Update

Work is underway to replace a culvert that intercepts the highway at the Reload Railway South Overpass, 21 kilometres north of Woss.

The work requires the road to be closed in both directions as crews work to replace the failed culvert, approximately nine metres (30 feet) below the highway, then excavate and repair a sinkhole created in that segment of roadway.

The highway will remain closed at the location around the clock, with a full-time detour in place until the project is complete in mid-September.

The 2.5-kilometre detour runs along rural forestry roads parallel to the highway, and will be accessible for all traffic, including oversized loads.
