Work is now underway on phase 2 of the Silver Star Road multi-use path project, with crews confirming underground utility locates prior to construction.
Over the next few months, construction crews will be working between the Silver Star Gateway Business Park and BX Elementary School and will be on site Monday to Friday (and occasionally Saturday) between 7:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. daily.
Motorists traveling south/west along Silver Star Road are reminded that a detour will be in place during construction hours and some travel delays should be expected. Northbound/eastbound traffic will remain on Silver Star Road.
The first detour has been marked along MacDonald Road to Rimer Road, and then to Pleasant Valley Road, with signs directing traffic around the construction site. There will be a second posted detour via L & A Road to Rimer Road. However, depending on their destination, motorists could use other unsigned routes around the construction site, via East Vernon Road.
If you are traveling in the area, please slow down in construction and detour zones for the safety of workers, residents in detour areas, and others who are traveling. The City appreciates everyone’s patience while the work is being completed.
Motorists are encouraged to routinely check the City of Vernon website for updates on the Silver Star Road multi-use path project and marked traffic detours. Information can be found at www.vernon.ca/roadconstruction by clicking on the City’s interactive roadwork map.
