KAMLOOPS — Friday (Dec. 20) will wrap up improvement work on West Victoria Street for 2019.

In a news release, the City of Kamloops says weather permitting, Extreme Excavating and crews will be back on site Jan. 6 to continue landscaping and third-party utility work at various locations.

Next spring and summer, the City says, landscaping work will be completed, utility change-overs will take place, hydro poles will be removed, remaining sidewalk panels will be installed, and any additional work will be completed.

Starting Friday, reduced speed signs will be removed from the construction zone. On Jan. 6, temporary 30 km/h speed signs will be installed in active work zones along the corridor.

The crosswalk at the west end of the corridor in front of Sun Life Financial will be temporarily closed for the winter tomorrow and will reopen next spring once crosswalk lights have been installed.

“With four lanes of traffic in that area, there is a safety concern that motorists will not see or stop for pedestrians without the crosswalk light in place,” the City says.

The crosswalk near The Mustard Seed will remain open. Both the north and south sidewalks throughout the corridor are fully accessible to pedestrians.

Permanent bus stops are in place near National Car Rental/Spoke N’ Motion (outbound) and near Budget Brake and Muffler (inbound).
