Luckakuck Way - Traffic Signal and Safety Improvements Project

Luckakuck Way from Vedder Road to the Southern Railway bridge (Valley Rail Trail) will see improvements. It is scheduled to be completed in spring 2025.

Construction Notice

When
Tuesday, April 22 – Wednesday, April 30 - 7 am – 7 pm

Traffic Impacts
Traffic will be single lane, two way traffic. There will be moments of single lane alternating traffic.

Purpose
Milling and paving.

Completed Works

• Paving of the multi-use pathway to the Valley Rail Trail.
• 80% driveway access concrete works.
• Pathway lighting concrete bases and conduit.
• Traffic signal bases, conduit and poles.

Future Works

Work is scheduled as weather pemits. Future works include:

• Pathway lighting poles.
• Traffic signal commissioning.
• Centre lane concrete medians.
• Paving and road markings.

Background Information

Concerns were received from the public and ICBC regarding unsafe driving behaviours entering and exiting driveway accesses along this corridor. After a traffic safety study was completed recommending improvements, detailed design and tendering were completed this spring and this project is now under construction.

Project Details

Improvements will include:

• Traffic control signal at the north access to the Superstore property complete with signalized crosswalks and audible pedestrian signals.
• Multi-use pathway (for cyclists and pedestrians) from the new traffic signal to the Valley Rail Trail on the east side of the roadway including pathway lighting.
• Replacing the two-way left turn lanes with designated left turn lanes including concrete medians along the corridor and restricting turning movements at various accesses. These changes will result in some restrictions to business accesses in order to improve the safety.
• Resurfacing of the asphalt roadway and new line markings from approximately east of Vedder Road to the Southern Railway overpass. Asphalt resurfacing to be completed in spring 2025 as weather and temperatures permit.

Timeline

Council awarded the contract for these works to Breakwater Contracting Ltd.  Mobilization and construction is underway with estimated completion in spring 2025.
