Down she comes. Crews lower the old rail bridge at Four Mile on the Island Highway.
Talk about heavy lifting. In a middle-of-the-night operation crews removed the old rail trestle at Four Mile on the Island Highway in View Royal on August 19. Twelve nights later they replaced it with a new steel rail bridge beam and two concrete beams for the new E&N Rail Trail, a multi-use path connecting Victoria with the West Shore.
For more information on the Rail Trail project go to www.crd.bc.ca/parks/e_n_railtrail.htm. And in with the new. New bridges for the rail and the rail trail are in place.

Where will the victoria station be located when the bridge work starts on Johnson Street?

Hopefully the station will be in Vic West by the roundhouse which is where it should have been all along.
