Shannon bridge on target

Construction on a new bridge across McDougall Creek on Shannon Lake Road is on schedule.

City officials in West Kelowna say construction is expected to be complete and the road reopened by Oct. 1, barring any unforeseen weather or construction delays.

The bridge was at the end of its useful life and needed to be replaced.

The new bridge will increase the load-bearing capability to ensure all emergency vehicles can use that section of Shannon Lake Road.

The bridge also took a beating when McDougall Creek flooded during the spring.

The pedestrian walkway, which was closed briefly late last month, is now open again. However, pedestrians are asked to use caution because the area is still an active construction zone.
