Shannon Lake Road Active Transportation Corridor Project

PROJECT UPDATE

Road paving work begins - Bulk Water Station temporarily closed

Road paving work is expected to occur on Friday, Sept. 6 and Tuesday, Sept. 10. During this time, the Bulk Water Station will temporarily close to accommodate paving crews and equipment. Read the traffic advisory for more information.

Residents are encouraged to plan their water needs in advance and use the filling station prior to the temporary closure. Watermain flushing will be temporarily paused during the closure of the filling station.

The detour on Shannon Lake Road via Shannon Way to Woodstock Drive to Shannon Place and Shannon Ridge Drive will remain in place as crews work to complete construction of the roundabout at the Asquith Road intersection. The intermittent single-lane alternating traffic pattern on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Shannon Lake Road from Shannon Ridge Drive to Swite Road will continue for Phase 3.

We are enhancing road safety and creating an active transportation corridor for our community along Shannon Lake Road!

Construction of a new multi-use pathway and road upgrades on Shannon Lake Road will enhance safety and create new active transportation and healthy living opportunities.

The $5.2 million project will be constructed in two sections and all work is anticipated to be complete in summer 2025. Partial funding of up to $500,000 is being provided under the B.C. Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant Program. Thank you to the Government of British Columbia!
