Kelowna road closing due to water project

Wallace Hill Road just east of South Kelowna Elementary school will be closed next week as work on the East Kelowna water project continues.

During the closure, pedestrian and school bus access will be maintained. Residents and businesses within the work zones will be able to access their properties.

Motorists will be directed to follow a detour route along Saucier and Spiers roads.

Spiers Road, which connects to Wallace Hill at a three-way intersection beside the school, has been under construction for quite some time.

Crews are installing new waterlines to hook East Kelowna up to the city’s water system in an $86-million project.
