17th Street intersections closed for repaving Wednesday

COURTENAY, B.C. – Drivers are urged to avoid the area of 17^th Street through much of tomorrow as summer roadwork continues.

Due to weather, some repaving work on 17^th Street originally scheduled for last week has been re-scheduled for Wednesday, July 4 (weather permitting).

The intersection at 17^th Street and McPhee Avenue and a section of Lewis Avenue just south of 17^thStreet will be closed to all traffic.

These full road closures will take place between 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to reduce the impact to commuters, according to the City of Courtenay.

Traffic will be detoured off of 17^th Street during the closure of the McPhee intersection.

Traffic control personnel will be on-site to direct vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists within the work area.
