Bentley Road to Okanagan Lake Park - South Bound view
Located on Hwy 97, immediately north of Summerland between Bentley Road and Okanagan Lake Park. 2008 - 2010
The project involved widening a 7km stretch of Hwy 97 to four lanes and constructing 3km of frontage roads to consolidate local accesses. In addition to the improved mobility and reduced congestion, motorists also benefit from safety improvements, including wider paved shoulders, rumble strips and roadside barriers. And all this while protecting valuable wild goat habitat too.
Construction crews were faced with a significant challenge in October 2008 when a large fissure was discovered on a rock slope above the highway just north of Summerland. The highway was closed for 19 days while the site was stabilized.
Approximately 55,000 cubic metres of rock had to be blasted from the site.
Project cost: $54M
