Another closure on Fourth Avenue in Kamloops as BC Hydro completes City Gardens-related utility work

KAMLOOPS — A one-block section of Fourth Avenue will be off limits to all vehicles for a little over a week this month as BC Hydro completes utility work in downtown Kamloops.

In a post on social media, the City of Kamloops said BC Hydro will be completing tie-in work on Fourth Avenue between Battle Street and Nicola Street. It noted this work is related to the City Gardens development, which has been under construction since 2022.

There will be a single lane of alternating traffic at the southwest corner of Battle Street and Fourth Avenue on Friday (Nov. 7) and again on Sunday and Monday (Nov. 9 and 10).

The city also says there will be a full closure on Fourth Avenue from Battle Street to Nicola Street between Nov. 12 and Nov. 20 so excavation and BC Hydro utility work can take place.

“The road will be restored to a drivable condition by Friday, Nov. 21,” the city statement noted.

Work to upgrade the sewer main along Fourth Avenue has reached St. Paul Street, but the final phase of the project between St. Paul Street and Battle Street will take place next spring.

A two-block section of Fourth Avenue between Columbia Street and Battle Street was previously closed for paving and utility upgrades in June.
