A portion of the Soda Creek Road is getting some much-needed repaving.
The City of Williams Lake announced Wednesday it is taking advantage of an opportunity to re-pave a 1.8 km section of Soda Creek Road from the dump turnoff to just past the railroad tracks.
Green Roads Recycling is in the Williams Lake area undertaking work for the Ministry of Transportation, and can perform paving work for the City at a reduced cost, as they are already on site.
With equipment capable of performing large volumes of Hot in Place Recycling (HIPR) work at high speeds, it is a suitable and cost-effective treatment for Soda Creek Road.
“The City is happy to be able to address the necessary repairs to a portion of Soda Creek Road, while realizing significant savings,” Mayor Walt Cobb said. “The Hot in Place Recycling process is appropriate for the level of repair required on Soda Creek Road.”
Paving the road is a priority from the perspective of safety and long- term responsible management of infrastructure, Cobb added.
The roadwork will commence on the morning of Friday, June 23 through Saturday, June 24.
