Crews on Tranquille Road sewer main project to work earlier hours amid high temperatures

Jul 8, 2026 | 9:40 AM

KAMLOOPS — Residents living along a stretch of Tranquille Road in Brocklehurst may get earlier wakeup calls than usual during the summer heat.

Due to high temperatures in the forecast and worker safety, the City of Kamloops says crews working on the Tranquille Road Sanitary Main and Road Enhancement Project will work regular hours from 4:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. until further notice.

In a post to social media Tuesday (July 7), the city says a noise variance permit was approved.

The temporary amended schedule comes as crews are in the third and final phase of the Tranquille Road Sanitary Main and Road Enhancement Project. The third phase is expected to wrap up in late 2026, depending on weather conditions.

The two-year-long third phase of the Tranquille Road project began in June last year and crews were focused on the section between Crestline Street and Downie Street. The third stage of Phase Three will see construction focus on Schreiner Street to Southill throughout the summer while the fourth and final stage will focus on Windbreak Street to Southill from late summer until the end of construction season.

Recently, the city was authorized to borrow up to $9 million for the third phase of the Tranquille Road Sanitary Main and Road Enhancement Project. Results from an alternative approval process showed the city received 849 responses in opposition to borrowing for the third phase, representing 0.996 per cent of eligible electors, well below the 10 per cent of registered voters needed to halt the borrowing.

The first phase of the project along Tranquille Road west of Crestline toward Kamloops Airport was completed in 2017, while the second phase between Southill Street and 12th Street was completed in 2021.
