No change is likely in evacuation orders around the crane collapse site before Monday morning

Expect disruptions to continue in the vicinity of the deadly crane collapse in downtown Kelowna as a new work week begins.

The Central Okanagan Emergency Operations Centre did not anticipate any update before Monday.

Crews have been working to remove the pieces of the crane and clear the debris.

Only when the next stage of crane disassembly has occurred and it is deemed safe will the Evacuation Order be fully rescinded. That could take several days.

The public is asked to respect any remaining road/sidewalk closures, fencing and signage to allow crews and emergency personnel to perform their duties.

Although offices are closed, most businesses are operating remotely.

The Evacuation Order remains in effect for the following addresses:

1450 Bertram St.

1464 Bertram St.

1468 Bertram St.

1476 Bertram St.

1488 Bertram St.

Five men died when the crane crumpled on the morning of July 12, 2021.

Four of them, Patrick Stemmer, Eric Stemmer, Cailen Villness and Jared Zook were part of the work crew. Brad Zawislak was killed when pieces of the crane crashed through the roof of his office in the building next door.
