Here's a video view of the drive to Little River terminal, using Piercy Road as the connection from Hwy-19. This takes you north of Courtenay, and avoids the Courtenay city bottlenecks.
My video starts part-way down Piercy Road, about to cross the new bridge. This used to be a 1-lane bridge, and the new bridge makes this route a viable connector between Comox and Hwy-19 to Campbell River.
Travelling to Little River from Nanaimo, this route adds 9km but allows for avoidance of city traffic and gives a nice rural alternative.

Has anyone checked out the new live webcam at Westview?? It’s pretty neat it’s live so you can see the ferries arriving and departing. It’s operated by the Powell River Peak. If you look that up you can access to the webcam.

Westview terminal is getting another update only after six years but this will allow the terminal realigned to make efficient for the time being. In long term the trestle will be widened to allow double lane loading and unloading. www.bcferriesprojects.ca/westview

Double lanes would be a huge benefit to on time performance for the Little River boat as long as traffic flow can be maintained up to Marine Ave.
