The City of Kamloops says crews will resume work on the 6th Avenue Bike Lane project between Columbia Street and Battle Street on Monday, March 13.

Work on that section began in September last year, before it was delayed due to supply issues, forcing the City to split the project into two phases.

City staff say crews will also work on the section between Battle Street and Lansdowne Street this year, with the construction set to wrap up in July.

Construction will take place between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, though the City says there may be some evening or weekend work, as needed.

While 6th Avenue will be open to traffic, there will be a number of other road and alley closures as well as impacts to pedestrians, parking, and transit while work is taking place, as noted below:

• There will be road and alley closures on the east side of 6th Avenue between Columbia Street and Battle Street (including Battle Street at 6th Avenue, and all alleys in between Columbia Street and Battle Street at 6th Avenue).
• Nicola Street at 6th Avenue (east side) will remain open (except for short closures during milling and paving).
• Traffic on 6th Avenue between Columbia Street and Battle Street will continue to be one lane, each direction.
• On-street parking on the west side of 6th Avenue between Columbia Street and Battle Street will not be permitted.
• Crosswalks on 6th Avenue between Battle Street and Nicola Street will be closed.
• The east sidewalk on 6th Avenue between Columbia Street and Battle Street will be closed to pedestrians. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times via the 6th Avenue west sidewalk.
• Transit routes on 6th Avenue will not be affected; however, the inbound (east side) transit stop on 6th Avenue between Columbia Street and Nicola Street will remain closed. Outbound (west side) stops will remain open.
• Garbage collection for businesses and residences will not be impacted.
• 6th Avenue (within the active construction zone) will be signed 30 km/hr.
• Emergency services will be given priority access through the construction zone.
• Heavy trucks will not be allowed on 6th Avenue within the active construction zone.

“While every attempt will be made to minimize the impact on businesses, residents, motorists, transit users, and pedestrians during construction, delays and congestion are inevitable and should be expected,” the City said, in a statement. “Please use alternate routes if possible.”
