A five-hour closure is planned for a stretch of Third Avenue in downtown Kamloops on Tuesday due so BC Hydro crews can carry out emergency work.

In a social media post, the City of Kamloops advised drivers that Third Avenue will be fully closed between Seymour Street and Victoria Street from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The closure is due to “emergent work being performed by BC Hydro.”

“If possible, please avoid the area,” the city said.

Notice to motorists: 3rd Avenue will be fully closed between Seymour Street and Victoria Street on February 4 from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, due to emergent work being performed by BC Hydro. If possible, please avoid the area. #kammute #kamloops pic.twitter.com/SzUDYqE2dl
