Construction to begin on new multi-use pathway near Kamloops Airport

KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops has announced that construction is set to begin this coming week on a new multi-use pathway connecting Fulton Field Park to Airport Road along the west side of Tranquille Road.

“The pathway will be enhanced with lighting, carefully selected trees, and hydrangeas that match the previously completed Tranquille Gateway Improvements Project, creating a cohesive look along the corridor,” reads a city press release. 

The new path will run approximately 600 meters, connecting to other active transportation infrastructure in the area. 

“The pathway design also considers future airport development to help ensure the pathway connects smoothly with planned improvements in the area,” continues the release. “Work will begin on Tuesday, September 8, with mobilization, surveying, and utility locates. Site preparation and earthworks will take place throughout September, including clearing, grubbing, stripping, and embankment work.”
