Cyclists, scooter riders and pedestrians should have a new multi-use path to travel on in the near future.

The City of West Kelowna said paving of Phase One of the new Shannon Lake Road Active Transportation Corridor Project is expected to go Thursday and Friday (Aug. 15, 16).

The path along Shannon Lake Road from the Kinsmen Park lower soccer field to Asquith Road is expected to be paved by end of day Friday, barring any complications or delays.

The paving work will cause some traffic disruptions, as Shannon Lake Road will be reduce to a single-lane, alternating traffic pattern.

Motorists can avoid the area by taking a detour via Shannon Way to Woodstock Drive to Shannon Place and then to Shannon Ridge Drive.
