McTavish Road Interchange Project

Visitors and residents of the Capital Region benefit from a $24 million in joint federal, provincial and Victoria Airport Authority funding to construct an interchange at McTavish Road and Highway 17 near the Victoria Airport. The project engaged local municipalities and community stakeholders in the final design that was constructed.

The project was cost shared between the Province ($10.5 million), the federal government ($10.5 million) and the Victoria Airport Authority ($3 million). This project improves road safety and efficiency for motorists travelling along Highway 17 to BC Ferries and the rest of the local road network. Construction began November 2009 and opened to the public on April 9, 2011.

The new interchange also includes major improvements to the transit facilities with an expanded park and ride and transit exchange. The interchange also accommodates cyclists and pedestrians.
