Expanded Paving Program Begins Oct. 14 on Columbia Avenue
By City of Castlegar
Road renewal work is scheduled for the week of October 14-17, with paving planned for sections of Columbia Avenue.
Paving is an essential part of maintaining municipal infrastructure. 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 stronger, more extensive paving program in the city.
“Residents have been clear that improving roads is a priority,” said Mayor Maria McFaddin. “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 successfully on previous projects. Crews will begin by milling existing pavement before repaving, with single-lane, alternating traffic in place during construction. The public is encouraged to watch for signage, follow traffic control measures, and plan for minor delays while the work is underway.
These upgrades are part of the City’s commitment to maintaining safe, reliable infrastructure, extending the life of local roads, and enhancing the overall driving experience.
