Kelowna's Lakeshore Road between Lanfranco and Richter to be closed for weeks

From March 20 to April 14, a portion of Lakeshore Road, between Lanfranco Road and Richter Street, will be closed to through traffic.

The road will be closed for excavating, decommissioning and installing deep utilities for the Movala Development.

Businesses will remain open, and there will still be access provided for local traffic.

A detour is planned for KLO Road, Richter Street and Lakeshore Road.

The sidewalk on the east side of Lakeshore will remain open throughout the closure.

The City of Kelowna says every effort will be made to minimize disruptions during construction, and patience and cooperation is appreciated.
