Paving for phase one of the Shannon Lake Road Active Transportation Corridor Project begins

Monday, Aug. 12, 2024

Beginning later this week, crews are scheduled to complete road paving work as part of phase one of the Shannon Lake Road Active Transportation Corridor Project.

On Thursday, Aug. 15 and Friday, Aug. 16, crews are scheduled to complete road paving work on Shannon Lake Road from the Kinsmen Park lower soccer field to Asquith Road. The single-lane alternating traffic pattern will remain in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and this section of road will fully re-open to thru traffic for the weekend.

Vehicles and transit accessing Shannon Lake Road will continue to detour via Shannon Way to Woodstock Drive to Shannon Place and Shannon Ridge Drive. Access will be maintained for the Bulk Water Station and to Asquith Road.

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

During paving, motorists are advised to expect delays of up to 15 minutes to accommodate crews and equipment working in the area. 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 while crews work to complete infrastructure upgrades and create an active transportation corridor along Shannon Lake Road.
