Traffic on Comox Avenue will become one-way in sections near Rodello Street later this month.
The Comox Valley Regional District announced the traffic pattern change as part of the Comox Valley Sewer Conveyance Project, as well as Town of Comox infrastructure upgrades. Beginning in mid-April, Comox Avenue will become one-way in sections beginning at Rodello Street, with traffic flowing west towards Glacier View Drive.
Estimated start date for construction on Comox Avenue is April 14, 2025. Construction will take place Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. 鈥� 8:00 p.m. Traffic will be one-way through the construction zone 24 hours per day.
Two-way bike and pedestrian traffic will be possible on Comox Avenue through the construction zone.
Construction on Comox Avenue is estimated to span the duration of April to October 2025. There will be multiple phases of construction, including sewer forcemain work, Town of Comox infrastructure upgrades, new cement curbs and sidewalks, paving, as well as the construction of two new roundabouts at Glacier View Drive and Rodello Street. Construction will be sequenced to maximize the time that eastbound vehicular traffic can travel from Comox Road hill into Comox, and regular updates to those who live and work in the corridor will be provided.
