Upgrading Enderby’s Salmon Arm Drive

Aug 18, 2017 | 4:24 AM

The rehabilitation of a 900 metre section of Salmon Arm Drive in Enderby begins on Monday, August 21st.

The project will renew the road base and water, sewer, and storm utilities.

To improve safety and walkability, it includes new street lights, a second raised crosswalk near the western access to the raised multi-use path, and a sidewalk for that part of Salmon Arm Drive located between the accesses to the raised multi-use path.

The project will occur in two phases on Salmon Arm Drive.

Phase 1 is from West Enderby to Northern Avenue.

Road works will be completed in mid to late October, with work on a retaining wall extending into November.

During Phase 1 construction, Salmon Arm Drive will be closed to through traffic between Northern Street and West Enderby Road.

Local access will be maintained, as well as access for emergency vehicles, school buses, and garbage and recycling trucks.

A detour will be provided for through traffic via Northern Avenue and Northern Street.

Phase 2 will start in Spring 2018.

Substantial completion of the project is set for early summer 2018.

The general contractor is Mountain Side Earthworks.

Salmon Arm Drive is a significant residential collector road that accepts traffic from much of the northeastern area of Enderby.
