City announces plan for road resurfacing

The City of Kelowna will be resurfacing 10.5 kilometres of roads as part of its annual pavement management program this year.

The program has a budget of $3.5 million and will involve the resurfacing of 18 roads and intersections throughout the year.

“Every year, the city works to compile a list of roads needing to be repaved that coordinate with other city projects like utilities, parks and development,” said Kristel Dodoro, Design Technician. “For 2022, areas chosen include Sutherland Avenue from Burtch Road to Highway 97, and the Ellis Street and Clement Avenue intersection. Work can include everything from operations maintenance and drainage improvements to bike lanes and new paint.”

Work has already begun on selected road segments by sweeping, sealing cracks, flushing, and completing some minor shoulder repairs.

Residents will be notified when resurfacing work is to begin in their area.
