The City of Campbell River will be making improvements to three traffic lights on Highway 19A through Willow Point, at the Hilchey Road, Discovery Foods and Erickson Road intersections.
Minor traffic delays are expected during the work, which will take place Wednesday, January 28, 2026. Please follow all traffic controls in place.
When the work is completed, the traffic lights at these three intersections will no longer be coordinated to hold the green lights in one direction. Removing the signal coordination will make the lights change over to green on the side streets faster. This will reduce the wait for a green light for traffic on the side streets and improve overall traffic flow.
At the Discovery Foods intersection, the advanced left-turn traffic lights from both the Discovery Foods side and the Willows Market side onto the highway will be removed. The advanced left-turn traffic lights from the highway into the malls will remain.
The traffic lanes will remain as-is, with both the Discovery Foods side and the Willows Market side each having one dedicated left-turn lane and a shared through-right lane.
These changes should improve traffic operations and flow.
