It’s been 15 years in the making but the Bear Mountain Parkway extension in Langford is now open, creating safer and alternate routes for drivers and emergency vehicles.

The 3.6-kilometre stretch of new road connects the Leigh Road Interchange to the existing Bear Mountain Parkway located at the Country Club Way.

Before the extension, the only way to access the Bear Mountain Resort and nearby developments was to take the existing parkway from Millstream Road.
