After more than three years of construction closures, the B.C. government says two-way traffic is set to return to Highway 4, the only route to the popular tourist destinations of Tofino and Ucluelet, B.C.

The province says the highway could reopen in both directions early in the new year with final completion possible by the spring, weather permitting.

The Transportation Ministry called the announcement Tuesday a major milestone in the project to upgrade a 1.5-killometre stretch of the highway along Kennedy Lake.Workers have been removing hazardous overhanging rock that has been a source of rockslides onto the highway in the past. The roadway has also been straightened with wider travel lanes and new roadside barriers between the highway and the lake below.
