Town of Lake Cowichan Public Works employees work on installing a new pipe on King George Street, Tuesday, May 24. Subsequent days’ work involved ripping up South Shore Road, resulting in some minor traffic delays. This capital project is one of many to be done in advance of next year’s Ministry of Highways repaving of the town’s entire stretch of South Shore Road. Rather than tear up a recently repaved road, Public Works is chipping away at underground work that is likely to pop up in the future.
