Elliott Road Improvements

We’re continuing to invest in safer, more connected streets for everyone in your neighbourhood.

As part of our continued investment in active transportation, The City of West Kelowna is planning improvements along Elliott Road (by Reece Road and Smith Creek Road) as part of the 2027 Capital Priority project: Elliott Road Pedestrian Improvements.

Project update

Phase one of pedestrian improvements on Elliott Road are set to begin on Monday, Nov. 16, 2026. As part of its continued investment in active transportation, the City of West Kelowna is moving forward with the Elliott Road Pedestrian Improvements project, which will enhance safety and connectivity along Elliott Road, between Smith Creek Road and Reece Road including the entrance of the cemetery. Work is expected to continue until early December and is dependent on weather conditions.

Road improvements will include:

• Installing a block retaining wall
• Adding a pedestrian walkway
• Completing road upgrades

This work is part of a series of improvements planned for the area, with additional enhancements expected to continue into 2027. The City will share more information and advance notice as plans and construction timelines are confirmed.

About the Project

The $4.5-million project includes:

• New multi-use pathway
• Street lighting
• 700 metres of full-depth road reconstruction
• Cemetery access re-alignment
• Retaining walls
• Upgraded stormwater infrastructure
• Roadside safety improvements including reflective posts, advanced warning signage, and speed reader board

These improvements will provide safer travel options for pedestrians and cyclists while supporting the needs of motorists. The project aligns with Council's strategic priority to Invest in Infrastructure, including improvements to the City's transportation network.

The project is part of the City's broader, long-term plan to improve Elliott Road. Future phases are planned between Solar Road and Butt Road as part of the City's 10-Year Capital Plan, with a target completion of 2031.

What to expect during construction

Construction may result in temporary inconveniences such as noise, dust, dirt, vibration, and increased crew and equipment activity for a short amount of time.

Residents and road users can expect:

• Drivers can expect single lane alternating traffic during construction 24 hours a day, from Monday to Friday. Two-way traffic will resume on weekends. Please, be advised there may be a 10-minute delay to commuter's morning routines.
• Maintained access to properties, with minor interruptions for construction activities.
• Continued access for transit and emergency vehicles throughout construction.
• Daytime construction working hours are from 7 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Motorist instructions:

• Traffic leaving the cemetery must turn right and please follow traffic control signs.
• Slow down and follow posted speed limits in and around work zones and detour routes.

The City of West Kelowna will implement a traffic management plan and communicate any traffic changes to the public in advance.
