Viaduct would fix Duncan traffic woes
Yes, Duncan does need a bypass. Two detailed reports were done in the past, and in both, the provincial government said because of the cost, Duncan will never have a bypass like in Nanaimo. Their decision says improvements have to be made with the existing highway corridor.
The only solution for a bypass, is to build a viaduct. Viaducts are very popular in the United States and work well with traffic flows. A viaduct for Duncan would begin at Beverly Street and connect with the two bridges over the Cowichan River. Through traffic on top and local traffic on the existing highway corridor.
Common sense prevails.
Unbelievable!
