Construction work on Government Avenue will slow traffic through the area until early next week.
The Government Street road-resurfacing will cause delays and the travelling public is advised to expect delays or attempt to avoid the road alltogether.
The city has commenced its annual Capital Works Contract focusing on some road re-surfacing, parking lot development and water main replacement.
According to the city, the projects will inevitably cause inconvenience to adjacent residents and the travelling public, but considerable effort is applied to minimize these impacts through restricted working hours and traffic detours.
The roads will remain open during construction and motorists are advised to expect delays or attempt, when possible, to avoid the roads altogether. Drivers are reminded to move carefully through construction zones, pay close attention to detour and warning signs, traffic control persons, construction workers, and equipment operating at all times.
The contract for the work has been awarded to Grizzly Excavating and any questions can be directed to their office at 250 462 9736 or to the City Engineering office at 250-490-2521.
