Prest Road Roundabout and Road Widening – McGuire to Bailey
Current Schedule
Summer/Fall 2025: Archeological field investigations & Hydro/Telus utility pole relocations
Spring/Summer 2026: Road construction
Due to longer than anticipated delays in receiving the required archaeological permit from the province for necessary field investigation prior to the start of construction, the Prest Road widening will not begin until spring 2026. Once a permit is received, the archeological field investigation (test holes) will go forward under the supervision of the archeologist.
The City will then release the tender for the roadworks based on the shortlist approved by Council this spring. BC Hydro and Telus will proceed with relocating their poles this summer/fall in preparation for the road widening and roundabout construction in 2026.
Background
The third and final phase of the Prest Road widening project from McGuire Road to Bailey Road will begin this year with completion in 2026. This phase includes the construction of a roundabout at Prest Road and McGuire Road and road widening between McGuire Road and Bailey Road.
To minimize disruptions, the City completed the culvert replacement at Interception Ditch on Prest Road during the 2024 fish window.
