The City of Vernon’s 2020 capital works program, valued at $17 million dollars, is in full swing and that means lots of road closures through early November.

In 2013 faced with aging and failing infrastructure from roads to sewers, council implemented a 1.9 percent infrastructure levy that is now being spent directly in the improvement of roads, water mains, lighting, intersections, and more.

The main projects underway or soon to begin include.

32 nd Avenue Reconstruction – 33 rd street to 35 th street
A new civic park on 37 th avenue on the former Civic Arena site;
Sewer Extension to the Okanagan Landing
Road and utility work on 39 th avenue.
Pleasant Valley Rd – BX Creek to 48 th Avenue
Okanagan Landing Rd sewer force main from Tronson Road to the waste water treatment plant to accommodate higher flows due to development
