Ross Street Utility Work Paving
The City of Salmon Arm Contractor (D Webb Contracting Ltd) has completed the underground utility work on the sanitary and storm system. The upgrades to the underground pipes will improve the conveyance of sanitary and stormwater flows, reduce maintenance on the older system, and provide longevity to our critical infrastructure.
As a result of the progress of the work, and the use of night work for a period of construction, the Contractor has completed the work ahead of schedule, which will allow Ross Street between Lakeshore Road and Hudson Avenue to open to traffic at the end of the day Friday March 8. This will allow full vehicle circulation for weekend traffic and events.
The sidewalk on the west side of Ross will remain closed to allow the new concrete sidewalk/parking lot ramp to harden, and the portion of the parking lot will remain closed for safety. The temporary ramp will remain for access to the parking lot. On Monday March 11th (weather dependant) Ross Street, and the disturbed portion of the parking lot, will be closed to allow paving. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding while this important project nears completion.

The Ross Street closure is expected to last for two weeks.
During this construction period traffic disruptions can be expected, however, every effort will be made to keep disruptions to a minimum. Construction signs will be posted to assist with traffic flow. Please exercise caution and obey all signage placed for your safety.
