LAKE COUNTRY – Work is underway to upgrade a key highway intersection in Lake Country to improve safety and access for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.
The project includes constructing traffic islands to facilitate right turns at Oceola Road, a northbound acceleration lane onto Highway 97, raised centre medians, an extension of the northbound left turn lane, pedestrian crosswalks, and a new signal with left turn advances.
A $2.4-million contract has been awarded to Belvedere Place Contracting Ltd of Kelowna. During construction, drivers are advised to expect delays and are encouraged to check www.DriveBC.ca for current conditions. Work is expected to be finished in fall 2015.
