Motorists may experience travel delays this week as construction continues on 48th Avenue between Hwy 97 and 29th Street.
The work is part of the City’s investment in infrastructure and active transportation, which helps make Vernon a great place to live. The project includes a new drainage culvert, road improvements and multi-use pathway on the north side of 48th Avenue.
The second portion of the project is expected to be completed this month, however it will require some daytime temporary lane closures, meaning traffic will be reduced to a single lane on October 2 and 3.
On Wednesday, October 2, there will be temporary lane closures on 48th Avenue, east of Hwy 97.
On Thursday, October 3, there will be temporary lane closures on 48th Avenue and the south bound lane of Hwy 97.
Pedestrian access will be maintained during the road closures throughout construction.
The City would like to thank motorists for their patience and for slowing down while crews work in the area.
