Westlake Road water main work next week

TRAFFIC DELAYS MAY OCCUR ON WESTLAKE ROAD

WEST KELOWNA – Watermain replacement work on Westlake Road between Caledonia Way and Sussex Road, part of the Westlake Road Upgrade project, will begin Wednesday, December 10. Motorists can expect minor traffic delays when travelling through this section. Work is expected to take four days.

Motorists are asked to obey all signage and traffic control personnel when travelling through this section of construction.

–  3.6 metre wide travel lanes in each direction
–  1.5 metre cycling lanes in each direction
–  Curb, gutter and underground storm drainage
–  Replacement water main
–  1.8 metre wide sidewalks in each direction from Stevens Road to Highway 97
–  1.8 metre wide sidewalks on the east side from Stevens Road to Starlight Crescent
–  56 streetlights
–  A roundabout traffic circle at the intersection of Stevens Road and Westlake Road

Final paving of the Westlake Road Upgrade project will occur in spring 2015.
