After more than five months of traffic closure, the Esquimalt Lagoon bridge in Colwood, British Columbia–on Victoria Island–is being repaired. The City has placed timbers at the base of the abutments to protect them from waves. On the north side, a section of the asphalt is being removed and fill material excavated out. That area will then be repacked and the sides reinforced with geotextile to prevent fill material from being drawn out.
