South Lakeside Drive Update #11

Courtesy of the City of Wiliams Lake:

Road sub-excavation (removal and replacement of the road base material) continued over the past week. In addition, curb and gutters were installed between Hub City Auctions to near Pioneer Drive.

Next week the existing road will be cut out and used to fill the multi-use lane across from Pioneer Drive. New base gravels suitable for a busy road like South Lakeside Drive are being brought it, placed, and compacted where the old material was taken out. Work is expected to be performed east of Pioneer Drive for the most part of next week.

The public is reminded that the portion of South Lakeside Driveway 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.
