Notice of private developer extending Upper Smith Creek Road

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wednesday, April 27, 2022

Beginning Monday, May 2, Wiltech Developments Inc., and T&A Rock Works will begin construction to extend Upper Smith Creek Road. This work is developer-led and part of the Smith Creek residential development.

Smith Creek Road, between Dixie Road and Copper Ridge Drive intersection, will be closed to complete development-related work. The developers’ contractors are scheduled to perform blasting operations within the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays. Earthworks may occur outside these hours with the possibility of some weekend construction activity.

A detour will be in place on Copper Ridge Drive until further notice. Access for emergency services and local residents will be maintained during construction. Users of Glen Canyon Regional Park and adjacent Smith Creek trails will be able to use Upper Smith Creek Road during construction via this detour.

Motorists are advised to allow for extra travel time when driving through this area. For the safety of crews and residents, please follow all construction signage and instructions from traffic control personnel.

Although this work is being performed as part of a private development that affects city roadways, the City of West Kelowna thanks motorists and area residents for their patience and understanding while the work is conducted safely and as quickly as possible.
