It’s going to be a little bit slower getting to and from Naramata as work on a major project for the community goes on.
Construction has begun on the Naramata Water System Rehabilitation Project and in order to help minimize the effect of the work on residents, businesses and tourists within the community, a detour has been put in place within the construction area on Naramata Road.
The detour will be in effect from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Saturday until the end of November:
- Northbound passenger vehicles take the detour. please watch for local residents within the area and for on coming traffic;
- All southbound traffic and northbound commercial vehicles must take Naramata Road;
- Businesses within the construction area are open and can be accessed from the north end of the project;
- Maximum 10-minute delays;
- Obey flag persons.
The traffic control personnel will assist pedestrian and cyclists safely through the active work area in either direction.
The Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen warns that this is an active construction site and asks that travellers exercise care and consideration of other vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians and workers when entering, passing through or exiting the work area and utilizing the detour route in order to ensure the safety of everyone within the construction zone.
