On time and on budget.

Construction on the $9.3M Sneena Road overpass project, which began back in April, is expected to be complete by the end of the month.

Project manager, Evelyn Lube, says everything is weather dependent.

"We'll be opening the road as soon as all the final things are done. We're at the stage where we're at the mercy of the weather a bit so as long as the weather holds and continues to stay fairly mild, we'll be able to get all of our paving done," says Lube.

"There's paving and then there is work that has to be done afterwards, there's some barricades that have to be put up, line painting is another one that is weather dependent. But, it looks good for opening the road the first week of December."

There are actually two phases to the project, the extension of Tomat Road to the roundabout next to the new mall and the new road which extends from the roundabout and connects with Campbell Road.

That portion includes the underpass which crosses under Highway 97 part way up bridge hill.

If the weather holds, Lube expects final paving work to be done on both this week.

This is the fourth highway project along that stretch of highway in the past 10 years.

The others included construction of the new William R. Bennett Bridge, the Westside Road overpass and Nancee Way overpass.
