You know its spring when talk turns to road resurfacing

Approximately 10.5 km of road will be resurfaced as the City works to improve streets and intersections in 2022. The annual pavement management program has a budget of $3.5 million and will involve the resurfacing of 18 roads and intersections throughout the year.

“Every year, the City works to compile a list of roads needing to be repaved that coordinate with other city projects like utilities, parks and development,” said Kristel Dodoro, Design Technician. “For 2022, areas chosen include Sutherland Avenue from Burtch Road to Highway 97, and the Ellis Street and Clement Avenue intersection. Work can include everything from operations maintenance and drainage improvements to bike lanes and new paint.”

Monitoring and testing of roads by the City helps to identify and prioritize sections that require updating. By regularly maintaining the infrastructure of our roads is protected, and the need for mass replacement is avoided.

Work has already begun on selected road segments by sweeping, sealing cracks, flushing, and completing some minor shoulder repairs. Residents will be notified when resurfacing work is to begin in their area.

The City of Kelowna and crews onsite appreciates your patience and cooperation while work is under way.
