WEST VIC PROJECT

West Victoria project moves to 24-hour construction

KAMLOOPS — More changes are coming to the Victoria Street West improvements project.

Starting Sunday (May 26), Extreme Excavating will move to a 24-hour construction schedule. That will be in place for six to eight weeks.

The City of Kamloops says in a news release the new schedule is aimed at moving the completion date up to summer of 2020.

“In the initial stages of planning, it was felt that this project would be complete by winter 2020. However, Extreme Excavating has been very innovative in helping us identify ways to shorten the duration of construction and thereby minimize the impact on the businesses affected and on commuting traffic,” said Darren Crundwell, the City’s Capital Projects Manager. “This move to a 24-hour construction schedule for the next six to eight weeks will allow work to proceed much faster and ultimately will shorten the initial duration of the project by four to six months, bringing the target project completion to summer 2020.”
