Starting at 9 a.m. July 16, Dilworth Drive in Kelowna, between Omineca Place and Leckie Road, will be closed for bridge repairs and works associated for the connection on the Okanagan Rail Trail, says the city.
Dilworth Drive is expected to reopen Aug. 10.
Detours will be posted and motorists are asked to obey signs and construction safety personnel, as every effort will be made to minimize disruptions. Alternate routes include Glenmore Drive and Summit Drive.
The bridge repairs will include bridge deck replacement with concrete, waterproofing and concrete abutment repairs.
Paving will be done approximately 100 metres north of the rail trail crossing and will include new pavement markings, pedestrian/cycle activated signals, storm water quality control structures and management as well as a new sidewalk for improved connectivity to the new rail trail.
The city says construction is necessary due to provincial regulatory requirements in order to work near fish bearing streams.
