Section of KVR Trail in Penticton to close next week for repaving

A section of the KVR Trail in the South Okanagan will be closed for two days next week as it undergoes repair work.

The City of Penticton, B.C., says the section, located just south of Nanaimo Avenue East, needs repaving.

The closure will take place Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 17-18, with the city’s parks crews doing the work, which will create a smoother path.

The city says trail users should watch for detour signs and traffic control personnel during the closure.

A decommissioned rail line, the KVR Trail stretches 660 kilometres, from Hope to Castlegar. It’s also part of the Trans Canada Trail.
