South Lakeside Drive Update #6

Courtesy of the City of Williams Lake:

The installation of new stormwater works and removal of vegetation and topsoil from the roadside continued this week on South Lakeside Drive. Next week’s work schedule includes the installation of storm sewer works near Pioneer Drive, and the beginning of road sub-excavation near Hodgson Road. The unsuitable base material under the road will be removed and replaced.

The public is reminded that the portion of South Lakeside Drive between the Cariboo Adventist Academy and Hodgson Road is a construction area, and rough patches of road are to be expected. The contractor is regularly working on grading and repairing rough areas, but patience is requested because the high volume of traffic causes road condition to deteriorate quickly. Motorists are also reminded to obey the posted 30 km/h speed limit. Traffic flow will be single-lane alternating.

South Lakeside Drive will be repaved from Hodgson Road to the Cariboo Adventist Academy, the merge lane from Hodgson Road will be extended to Pioneer Drive, and a pedestrian/bike lane will be added from Hodgson Road to the Cariboo Adventist Academy. Work on the project is expected to continue through September.
