CAMPBELL RIVER, B.C. – The City of Campbell River wants to show residents the construction plans along Highway 19A.
The Waterfront Project 2018-2020 is entering its second construction season. On March 6th, the city is hosting an open house, giving community members an opportunity to learn about what the construction will entail.
Upgrades to the Big Rock Boat Ramp finished earlier last year, and the first phase of the waterfront sewer project was completed later in the year.
This year, resurfacing work will start between Maritime Heritage Centre and 1st Avenue. Construction will move south, with crews installing underground services all the way to the Simms Creek pump station. According to a release from the city, this part of the work will take place in the beginning of April or May.
“We completed a lot of really important work last year that will help us achieve the long-term goals of the community, including improved services, capacity for growth and better access to the oceanfront,” wrote Mayor Andy Adams in the release. “We’re keeping that momentum going of upgrading important infrastructure.”
The team in charge of the waterfront project will be available at the open house, where they will provide updates on this year’s work, as well as the groundwork the team is laying now for improvements in 2020.
The team will also discuss the roundabout that will be constructed at Rockland Road.
Residents can drop in at Maritime Heritage Centre from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on March 6th.
