BC Transit and the Comox Valley Regional District will be celebrating BC Day on Monday with free transit, on all routes.

Regular service will operate on Saturday and Sunday.

On holiday Monday, August 4, all routes will be running on a Saturday schedule.

With the 41st annual Filberg Festival at Filberg Park in Comox and the 67th Anniversary of Comox Nautical Days, there will also be some detours in place, so expect some delays.

Meanwhile, the Comox Valley Regional District says two-way traffic will be temporarily reopened on Comox Avenue and Comox Road for the BC Day Long weekend.

Construction activities for the Comox Valley Sewer Conveyance Project will be paused starting today through Monday.

Vehicles will be able to travel east and west from Courtenay to Comox via Comox Road (Dyke Road) and along Comox Avenue.

Bike traffic will also be able to travel two-ways on Comox Avenue and Comox Road.

If biking, please look for signage, as there may be sections where bike lanes are not available and bike traffic will be advised to take the vehicle lane.

Construction zones and one-way westbound traffic sections will resume on Comox Road and Comox Avenue on Tuesday, August 5th.

Road closures remain in place at Glacier View Drive, Aitken Street, Strathcona Crescent and Corker Avenue.
