Highway 4 closed in both directions due to wind at Cameron Lake Bluffs

Highway 4 is now closed to travel in both directions due to high winds in the area.

Travellers on Vancouver Island are being told to expect a possible full overnight closure of Highway 4 due to high winds leading to an increase in rockfall risks, according to the Ministry of Transportation.

In a notice posted Tuesday afternoon, people are told to plan their travels accordingly as winds are expected to continue to gust over 50 km/h, keeping the highway closed until winds die down.
