Please be advised that construction of the McTavish Road Interchange will begin on November 30, 2009. Starting that morning, McTavish Road will be closed between Highway 17 and Lochside Drive until Spring 2011. Access to the Pat Bay Highway will be maintained via Amity Drive (right turns to/from northbound Highway 17 only), Mt. Newton Cross Road (all movements), and Beacon Avenue in Sidney (all movements).

In addition, an extended closure of Canora Road between McTavish Road up to Rideau Avenue will begin on approximately January 26, 2010. Motorists travelling to the airport will follow McTavish to East Saanich Road, turn north, and take the airport exit from the roundabout.
