We are continuing to rebuild the road this week.
The pedestrian detour has been removed. There is a path to walk up the roadway on River Road and a walking route up to Fraser Street.
There will be small disruptions to traffic on First Street today to place and pack gravel on the road. Please pay attention to signage and flaggers in the area.

The Village will continue installing sewer services along River Road for the rest of this week.
Next week, our work will focus on restoring the road. It's expected to finish by the end of the week.
There may still be traffic disruptions after next week, but they will be brief and affect small areas.
Thanks for continuing to respect workers and signage during construction!

Lytton ferry back in service
Yesterday, Yellowhead Road & Bridge announced that the Lytton ferry is back in service. It is currently restricted to light traffic (maximum GVW 6000 kg) and school buses only due to high water. As water levels drop, this restriction will be removed.
Construction update
The majority of the work has been completed through the narrowest section of road, so walking around the work area will be easier moving forward.
Pedestrians can expect slight delays if large equipment is moving through the site. We don’t expect 20-minute pedestrian delays to be required.
Reminder
For your safety and the safety of construction workers, please respect signage and barricades and avoid walking through the active construction areas.
