It will take some time to reopen Lower Rd. in Roberts Creek. On Feb. 13, nearly two weeks after the washout near the cemetery, shut-off valves had been installed on the exposed water main but Fortis was still working to move its natural gas line. Then the ministry of transport has to stabilize the area that washed away and replace the culvert before repairing the road. Roberts Creek SCRD director Andreas Tize has told constituents he thinks it could take “several months”. John Gibbs photo
