Repairs are planned for the bridge on the busy two-lane road that crosses Mill Creek and on infrastructure work necessary for the new rail trail crossing.

The work needs to be scheduled at this time due to provincial regulations for fish bearing streams, according to the City of Kelowna.

The road at the base of Dilworth Mountain will be closed until Friday, Aug. 10.
