KAMLOOPS — Supply chain delays have been hindering many industries this year, but the City of Kamloops says progress on summer roadwork projects has been smooth.
Most of the road work around the city this year has been focused on resurfacing aging or damaged streets. Disruptions related to supply delivery hiccups have been minimal, according to Streets and Environmental Services Manager Glen Farrow, so project timelines to lay down the asphalt haven’t been dragged out.
“We have the oils, the gravels available here locally, so with that we’ve been able to do what we needed to do and add even further projects on it,” explains Farrow. “As we work toward the fall, we still have Highway 5A up in Aberdeen to resurface as well.”
