Abbotsford/Victoria – Pavement marking is now underway throughout the province with higher standards than previous years, which makes the paint easier for people to see.
There are five pavement marking service areas in the province: Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, Thompson-Cariboo, Okanagan-Kootenay and the North. Each of the pavement marking service agreements have five-year terms and include an optional two-year extension.
Due to more favourable weather conditions, the first lines were painted on the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. Pavement marking is now taking place in all regions and this week crews will be working including Highway 1 in the Abbotsford area in the Lower Mainland.
These schedules are weather dependent and subject to change. Drivers are reminded to slow down, obey all traffic control personnel and use caution when travelling through areas where crews are marking pavement.
