Every attempt will be made to minimize the impact on residents, motorists, and pedestrians during construction; however, travel delays are inevitable.

Late March–September 2023
PROJECT SCOPE
The City of Kamloops has contracted Clearview Demolition Ltd. to tear down the former Northbridge Hotel at 377 Tranquille Road. We are advising residents, businesses and commuters that this work is scheduled to begin in late March and will encompass the following scope of work:
TRAFFIC IMPACTS
Traffic detours may be in effect and transit may be impacted. Please obey all traffic control personnel and equipment when driving in the vicinity of the project.
RESIDENT AND BUSINESS IMPACTS
Fences are expected to go up around the property in late March. For the first four months all work will be contained on site. Security will remain on premises to ensure no one enters the building during the abatement process. This building contains hazardous materials, such as asbestos, and while this work poses no health risk to anyone outside the building, proper precautions need to be taken inside. The contractor will erect fences to delineate their work zone and is important that the public respects that boundary.
Throughout the construction period, vibratory compaction equipment may be in use; therefore, any fragile items should be packaged or protected from damage due to vibration. There may also be noise disruption due to equipment on site.
Garbage collection will not be affected
HOURS OF WORK
Work will begin late March, with completion anticipated for the end of September. Construction is scheduled to occur Monday through Saturday, 7:00 am–5:00 pm.

PROJECT SCOPE

We are advising residents and parkgoers that this work is scheduled to begin at the end of October, with completion expected in early 2024.
*A grit chamber is a long, narrow tank designed to reduce the velocity of the flow of sewage to eliminate materials like sand, eggshells, coffee grounds, and other inorganic materials.
PARK IMPACTS
While there will be very little impact to parkgoers, the area of work will be cordoned off and closed to the public. Please obey all signage and personnel.
HOURS OF WORK
Construction is scheduled to occur Monday–Friday, 7:00 am–5:00 pm. Some evening or weekend work may be required.
Please note that we are only able to respond during regular City operating hours, 8:00 am–4:00 pm, Monday to Friday (excluding holidays). Any emergency issues or requests for service should be directed to 250-828-3461.
