KAMLOOPS — Another major Brocklehurst road project will get started next week.

The City of Kamloops says B.A. Dawson Blacktop has been contracted to strip and repave Schreiner Street between Edgemount Avenue and Bossert Avenue. The project will also include the replacement of water and sanitary casting and the painting of a pedestrian shoulder.

Work is expected to wrap up by May.

That’s not the only road project the City has planned for 2021. Others are listed here:

• Reconstructing Westmount Drive, including water service replacements, drainage and sanitary upgrades, and the addition of a pedestrian walkway. Watch for this work starting this week.
• Repaving Columbia Street from Notre Dame Drive to McGill Road, including sections of Notre Dame Drive and Summit Drive. This work will also involve some utility works and signalization upgrades. Expect to see this project start in May.
• Repaving Victoria Street between 8th Avenue and 13th Avenue, including sections of Lansdowne Street and Battle Street. This project is scheduled for late summer.
• Repaving Fleetwood Avenue and constructing a new sidewalk.
• Repaving Comazzetto Road, completing utility work, and extending the sidewalk.
• Constructing the multi-use pathway on Summit Drive as part of the Summit-Downtown Active Transportation Connection. Details on this project are available at LetsTalk.Kamloops.ca/Summit-Downtown.
