Phase three begins on the Shannon Lake Road Active Transportation Corridor Project

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2024

Crews are making good progress on the construction of the multi-use pathway and roundabout along Shannon Lake Road as part of the Active Transportation Corridor Project.

Beginning this week, an intermittent single-lane alternating traffic pattern will be in effect on Shannon Lake Road from Shannon Ridge Drive to Swite Road, weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. as crews begin work on phase three of the project.

Road improvements for phase three include a multi-use pathway on both sides of the roadway, stormwater upgrades, streetlighting, landscape boulevards and the installation of a pedestrian-activated crosswalk.

The detour on Shannon Lake Road via Shannon Way to Woodstock Drive to Shannon Place and Shannon Ridge Drive will remain in place as crews work to complete construction of the roundabout at the Asquith Road intersection. Access will be maintained for the Bulk Water Station.

Please note the construction schedule is subject to weather conditions, contractor schedule changes and other factors.

While work is underway, motorists are advised to leave extra time to get where they need to go. The single-lane alternating traffic pattern is necessary to allow crews to work as quickly as possible while ensuring public and crew safety.

Motorists are also advised to drive with caution through the detour, follow all posted speed limits and follow directions of traffic control. Pedestrian and emergency services access will be maintained at all times and cyclists are encouraged to follow posted detours or dismount through the construction zone.

The City of West Kelowna thanks residents and businesses for their patience and understanding during construction.
