Water main replacement will see return of single-lane traffic on section of Westsyde Road in Kamloops

KAMLOOPS — There will be a single-lane of alternating traffic on a section of Westsyde Road in Kamloops as crews resume work to replace a water main.

The City says BA Dawson Blacktop Ltd. has been contracted to replace a portion of the water main and all water services from Inskip Road to Riverview Road, north of the Privato Winery. Work is set to resume on March 3 and wrap up by mid-May.

“The speed limit within the construction zone will be reduced to 50 km/hr,” the City said. “Please obey all traffic control personnel and signage when travelling in the area.”

Work initially began in late August last year and wrapped up for the winter in November.

“During the project, water service disruptions will occur,” the City said, in its original release in August. “Impacted residents will receive advanced notification when any planned water shutoffs are scheduled.”

“During construction, dust control measures will be in place, as heavy vibratory equipment will be used. Pack up fragile items to protect them from damage due to vibration. Expect noise disruptions from construction equipment.”
