One of Coldstream’s big road projects of 2024 is set to begin.

Nixon Earthworks will be undertaking rehabilitation work on Husband Road, from Kalamalka Road to the intersection with Mariposa Place and Sunflower Place.

Construction will start on Monday, May 27, and will include widening the road for a bicycle lane, drainage and pavement upgrades.

The scope of the project is shown below.

For the duration of the project, traffic will be reduced to single lane, alternating, to ensure smooth traffic flow. Intermittent road closures will be necessary at times to accommodate drainage works in the narrow sections. However, local traffic will be accommodated as necessary and detour routes will be well marked.

Access to the Kalamalka Beach parking lot will remain open throughout the duration of the project.

Paving is expected to be completed by the end of July 2024.

District council earlier awarded the contract to Nixon Earthworks for $769, 548, the lowest of two bids that were submitted.
