The City of Vernon is advising residents and motorists of upcoming intermittent road closures on Eastside Road, as work continues on the Rock Slope Stabilization Project.
Starting August 21, and continuing until September 5, there will be intermittent 30-minute road closures between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday (excluding the long weekend). The closures are necessary to safely complete rock scaling and excavation work in several sections along Eastside Road.
To accommodate the seasonal bird migration and nesting period, some work originally planned for Eastside Road was deferred to the late summer.
Motorists are encouraged to plan their commutes accordingly and allow for additional travel time during the closure periods.
Construction schedule (subject to weather, contractor schedule and other factors)
- August 21-24: 9730-9734 Eastside Road
- August 25-28: 9600 Eastside Road
- August 29 – Sept 5: 9483 Eastside Road
The safety of all road users and construction personnel is a priority. Please follow signage and follow directions of traffic control personnel.

The City of Vernon appreciates the patience of residents and motorists while these safety measures are completed.
