Delays anticipated with Industrial Avenue paving project

PENTICTON – Motorists using Industrial Avenue west of Main Street might want to find an alternate route for the rest of the week.

Final paving capping off a rebuild of Industrial Avenue in the city’s industrial area began today, May 26.

Motorists faced delays earlier this morning as the paving project got underway on Industrial Avenue between Quebec Street and Amherst Street.

The final paving upgrades will continue through Saturday, May 30, depending on weather.

Motorists will have to deal with single lane traffic and temporary road closures in addition to detours that will be initiated as required. The city reminds members of the public to watch for and obey all traffic control personnel and speed limits posted through the work area.

Motorists and residents with questions about the route should contact the city engineering department at 250-490-2500.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
