Pedestrian improvements to start on Elliott Road

A rendering of the Elliott Road Project

Pedestrian improvements on Elliott Road are set to begin on Monday, Nov. 16, 2026. The Elliott Road Pedestrian Improvements project is part of the City of West Kelowna's continued investment in active transportation and the project will enhance safety and connectivity along Elliott Road, between Smith Creek Road and Reece Road.

This initial work is a multi-week project will include installation of a retaining wall on the south side of Elliott Road, between the cemetery entrance and Smith Creek Road. Work is expected to continue until early December and is dependent on weather conditions.

Drivers can expect single lane alternating traffic during construction 24 hours a day, from Monday to Friday. Two-way traffic will resume on weekends. Access to driveways, businesses, and emergency services will be maintained.

During daytime construction hours of 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., motorists should expect brief delays. Crews will work as quickly and safely as possible to complete this work within the provided timeline, but the schedule may change subject to weather conditions, contractor scheduling, and other factors.

Traffic leaving the cemetery must turn right and please follow traffic control signs, slow down and follow posted speed limits in and around work zones and detour routes.

About the project

The $4.5-million project includes a new multi-use pathway, street lighting, road improvements, cemetery access re-alignment, retaining walls and upgraded stormwater infrastructure. This work is part of a series of improvements planned for the area, with additional enhancements expected to continue into 2027. These improvements will provide safer travel options for pedestrians and cyclists while supporting the needs of motorists. The project aligns with Council's strategic priority to Invest in Infrastructure, including improvements to the City's transportation network.

The project is part of the City's broader, long-term plan to improve Elliott Road. Future phases are planned between Solar Road and Butt Road as part of the City's 10-Year Capital Plan, with a target completion of 2031.

We thank commuters and residents for your patience while this work is completed.
