The Highway 17 Keating Cross Road Overpass project aims to eliminate the dangerous left turn across the busy highway. Now at its halfway point, steel bridge girders are set to be installed across the highway in the coming weeks which will require overnight closures of Highway 17 in both directions:

• Thursday, July 25, 10 pm to 6 am
• Monday, July 29, 8 pm to 6 am
• Wednesday, August 7, 10 pm to 6 am

During these closures, traffic will be diverted via a detour along Tanner Road, Central Saanich Road, and Island View Road. Drivers should anticipate delays of up to 20 minutes and are encouraged to plan or select alternative routes if possible. Vehicles exceeding 2.6 meters in width will not be permitted on the detour and must seek alternate routes.

The project also includes the realignment of the southbound on-ramp to Victoria and the closure of Highway 17 access at East Saanich Road and Martindale Road to enhance safety. The project is scheduled for completion in spring 2025.
