The City of Campbell River is moving ahead with a $5.78-million infrastructure upgrade on Erickson Road.
Council approved the tender for Phase 1 of the Erickson Road renewal project to Windley Contracting Ltd. at its March 10 meeting.
According to the city, the first phase of the project will renew aging underground infrastructure along approximately 1.1 kilometres of roadway, from just west of Nature Park Drive to the crossing at Larwood Creek.
The work will include the replacement of the water main and storm sewer system, removal of asbestos pipes, and the installation of new hydrants, valves, services and manholes.
The city said the work is funded through its 2026-2035 financial plan, and construction is expected to begin in early to mid-May and be completed in late 2026.
“This investment addresses long-standing infrastructure challenges and supports reliable water and drainage services,” the city said.
Future improvements to Erickson Road will be discussed under Phase 2 of the renewal project.
