TRANSIT IMPACTS

Transit will continue to detour onto 6th Avenue during this work. Once completed, transit will once again use 4th Avenue.

PEDESTRIAN IMPACTS

Pedestrians will be detoured to the opposite side of the street or crosswalk.

ONGOING IMPACTS

Excavation and shoring at the Centre for the Arts site is ongoing.

Eradication of select on-street parking and loading zones, as well as select sidewalk closures surrounding the Centre for the Arts site are in place to accommodate improved traffic flow and ensure safety for all.

NEW: A temporary traffic signal has been installed at 4th Avenue and Seymour Street to help manage traffic as construction vehicles exit the Kamloops Centre for the Arts site. When activated, the signal timing will allow construction vehicles to safely clear the intersection reducing confusion and improving safety for all motorists. The City’s Transportation team will be on site during peak hours to ensure everything is running smoothly.
