We all expect and live with the conditions driving through the Keating 鈥渇lyover鈥� during construction, but the job the paving company has done patching the holes on the highway is nothing short of terrible.
What they have done, whether planned or through poor workmanship, is create about six speed bumps between the construction area itself and Island Beach Road in the northbound lane. There is no construction in this area. These aren鈥檛 just small rough areas, these are sizable ridges across both lanes that jar a car鈥檚 suspension seriously even at the posted speed of 60km-h.
We have two years, at least, of driving this stretch and having to slow down at each speed bump.
The roads in Saanich are bad enough, we shouldn鈥檛 have to dodge speed bumps on the highway.
