The City of Kamloops has contracted Acres Enterprises Ltd. to install a sanitary main directing upper Aberdeen flows from Aberdeen Drive to Hugh Allan Drive parallel to Highway 5A.

As part of the City of Kamloops’ Active Transportation Program and partially funded by the BC Active Transportation Infrastructure Grants Program, the project will also involve the construction of a multi-use path connection along Highway 5A.

We are advising residents of Laurier Drive and Sifton Lane that phase one of this work is scheduled to begin on Monday, September 9, 2024, with overall completion anticipated for fall 2025.

Phase two of the project will occur over two weeks beginning the week of April 22 and installation of a sanitary sewer main north of Hugh Allan Drive. Impacts will occur along Aberdeen Drive and Highway 5A. Highway 5A westbound traffic and parts of the shoulder in the area of the Hugh Allan Drive/ Highway 5A intersection will be temporarily impacted during construction.
