West Kelowna's road network is inspected yearly and each road is analyzed and rated. Roads selected for rehabilitation are those where the surface is rutted, cracked, and generally in poor driving condition. Typically, road rehabilitation work includes milling and replacing the asphalt surface.
Before replacing the top layer of asphalt, concrete curbs and gutters may be repaired along with sidewalks. Additional work includes adjusting the elevation of valves and manholes, replacing surface drainage swales and installing new road markings.
While road work can be inconvenient, it is necessary to manage long-term costs and extend the lifespan of our roads. Crews schedule and coordinate road work in a way that has the least impact on neighbouring residents, commuters and visitors. Most work happens during the spring and summer, as the warm, dry weather is ideal for road paving. Crews also ensure that they communicate with emergency services so that roads remain accessible when needed.
