Temporary full closure of Shannon Lake-Bartley-Stevens intersection starts Monday
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, May 24, 2022
Starting Monday, May 30 through to Saturday, June 4, the Shannon Lake-Bartley-Stevens intersection will be completely closed to the public during the day and overnight for road paving and construction of the concrete apron for the inner circle of the roundabout.
The Shannon Lake Road and Juliann Road detours will remain in place while crews complete road paving and the forming and pouring of the concrete rollover curb and travel apron. The Shannon Lake-Bartley-Stevens intersection will re-open Saturday morning, June 4, and will remain open through the weekend, subject to weather conditions and contractor timelines.
Motorists are advised to follow speed limits along the detour routes and work zones. Emergency services, transit and school bus service will be maintained through the intersection during this phase of work through to completion of the project.
Following completion of the inner circle, the Shannon Lake-Bartley-Stevens intersection will re-open to the public, with periodic minor delays until the end of July to complete boulevard works, and landscaping.
The Shannon Lake-Bartley-Stevens Roundabout Project also includes active transportation upgrades to the Shannon Lake corridor to enhance safety, traffic flow and provide a key connection to the West Kelowna Business Park. Upgrades include extending sidewalks and bike lanes east on Shannon Lake Road, and bike lane and sidewalk improvements east of Dominion Road to Westlake Road. An update will be provided to the community prior to this next phase of work. The entire project is expected to be complete in summer 2022.
The City thanks residents and businesses for their patience during construction. To learn more about the Shannon Lake-Bartley-Stevens active transportation project, visit ourwk.ca/Shannon-Lake-roundabout.
