Road renewal work in Castlegar is scheduled this week, with paving planned for sections of Columbia Avenue.
After receiving public feedback during last year’s budget engagement process and through ongoing conversations with the community, council approved $250,000 for 2025 to support a more extensive paving program in the city.
“Residents have been clear that improving roads is a priority,” Mayor Maria McFaddin. said in a news release. “Council listened and is taking meaningful action by investing more resources into paving, which will improve daily travel, support our local transportation network, and help us plan responsibly for the future.”
The paving work will be completed by Terus Construction Ltd., a contractor with whom the city has worked with before.
Crews will begin by milling existing pavement before repaving, with single-lane, alternating traffic in place during construction. You’re asked to watch for signage, follow traffic control measures, and plan for minor delays while the work is underway.
