The following three sections of high traffic roads were identified for 2024 Priority Pavement replacement. The base and subbase gravels are in good condition, but the surface is failing. To correct this issue, the District will be coming in to overlay a section. This project has been scheduled to optimize improvement costs by including it with other roads being resurfaced this year.
Glenmore Road
Glenmore Road from Chase Road south to the Lake Country/Kelowna Boundary
What & Why
- Renewal of the road surface by overlaying with two inches of new asphalt. The intent is to resurface the road without full replacement of the road structure as it is still functional.
When
Grinding of the roadway will begin on Monday, August 12th at 2:00 am. Following this, the overlay will be applied, and completion is expected by 8:00 am.
Okanagan Centre Road West
Okanagan Centre Road West from McCoubrey Road to 8555 Okanagan Centre Rd W.
What & Why
- Renewal of the road surface by reclaiming the existing surface and overlaying. The intent is to resurface the road without full replacement of the road structure as it is still functional.
When
Grinding of the roadway work begins on Monday, August 12th at 6:00 am. Following this, the overlay will be applied, and completion is expected by the end of day on Tuesday, August 13th.
Sherman Drive

What & Why

When
Grinding of the roadway work will begin late morning on Monday, August 12th. Following this, the repaving will take place on Wednesday, August 14th.
Effects on the Community
Unfortunately, as with any construction project, there will be some inevitable and unavoidable disruption, so here’s what we are doing to reduce the impact as much as possible:
- Certain road access restrictions will be in place to keep the public safe and allow us to complete the work as quickly as possible in order to minimize disruption. Expect periods of single lane alternating traffic and short delays.
- Road access for residents and businesses will be maintained throughout the construction period, although driveway access may be restricted while construction works take place. Letters have been hand-delivered to the properties directly impacted by the work.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation with construction site personnel and traffic management signage.
