Westlake Road paving area
Westlake Road residents are encouraged to park outside the paving area to avoid delays while the asphalt cures. The contractor will work directly with residents located within the work area to ensure continued access to homes and driveways while paving work is underway.
Work in the West Kelowna Estates neighbourhood includes tying in the new watermains to the Blackwood Reservoir, drainage upgrades, street lighting and active transportation improvements, which include a 700-metre bike lane and a delineated path from West Kelowna Road to Pettman Road.
Parkinson Road: Single-lane alternating traffic pattern from Westlake Road to 1406 Parkinson Road
Motorists are advised to drive with caution through construction areas, give extra space for roadside workers and follow directions of traffic control personnel. Cyclists are encouraged to follow posted detours or dismount through the construction zone. Access for emergency services will always be maintained.
Please note the construction schedule is subject to weather conditions, contractor schedule changes and other factors.
All transmission mains construction work is scheduled to be complete this fall, prior to completion of the Rose Valley Water Treatment Plant.
The City of West Kelowna and construction crews thank residents for their patience during construction.
