Bridge construction near Kelowna’s airport will see road closures for up to 4 weeks in March. The construction will involve replacing the Mill Creek bridge on Old Vernon Road. The bridge is said to be nearing the end of its service life and it also needs to be raised for increased flood flow.
Construction is scheduled to start on 1st March and is forecast to continue for three to four weeks. During this time all traffic from Airport Way and Spencer Road will be detoured to Bulman Road.
The airport bridge construction and road closure news come as the federal government has announced PCR pre-arrival requirements to be eased beginning 28 February. The federal government announcement has seen travel agents inundated with a much-welcomed influx of requests and bookings with Canadians taking the opportunity to book vacations abroad.
