Coldstream Creek Road to face temporary closures for infrastructure work

Aug 24, 2026 | 4:26 PM

A temporary road closure will be in place for work along Coldstream Creek Road.

Starting as early as 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25, crews will be doing infrastructure work on the underground utilities.

This work will require intermittent closures of Coldstream Creek Road between Kalamalka Road and Pine Drive.

The District of Coldstream said the work will be done between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. daily, with the plan to have the work completed by Thursday afternoon.

Detours will be in place while the work is underway, and people are asked to avoid the area if possible.
