There will be more accidents than there is now. It won’t be good to travel on the road on Friday afternoons once they seal coat it. It’s a challenge now trying not to get ran over by trucks heading back out .

absolutely correct,, i never take a mid day ferry. suicide by white pick up. i would rather drive in at night or catch first ferry than run that gauntlet.

So I was wondering how their seal coat road is going to stand up to the heavy loads of logs that run up and down the road. It’ll be a endless money pit fixing it every spring. Our tax dollars at work ( what a waste of money)

Work to be completed through 2022:

• The road will be constructed in three sections of approximately 25 kilometers each with contracts being issued for each section. These contracts will be tendered in January 2022 with work to begin in April 2022 and completed by mid-September. These contracts will carry out the gravel placement, compaction, drainage requirements, and signage.
• One seal coat contract covering the complete 76 km will be tendered in March 2022. The seal coating should take about a month to complete and will be expected to be completed by the end of September which allows for weather and other delays. This contract will apply two layers of seal coat and place required barriers.

In March 2023, a paving contract will be tendered, this contract will pave the required sections over the previously laid seal coat. The pavement is to be placed on all steep hills, major intersections and bridge approaches.

i and many others, would rather keep it that way.

it will be the end of Bamfield as we know it. The better they make it the worse it will be.

I take last ferry over and drive it at night. See the odd car but usually not. I hate mid day travelling down that road too many idiots flying down it

Want a vision for the effect of the future road ?? Just look at what has happened to Tofino---swarmed by folks looking to "get away" And Bam does not have even close to the area that Uki and Tofino has.

Agreed!
Anyone want to go in on some property? No, seriously…
