The City hopes work can begin by June 16 with substantial completion by Oct. 10 this year, just ahead of the Thanksgiving long weekend.

“This project involves the removal and reinstatement of asphalt and concrete at the abutment and expansion joint locations on the Overlanders Bridge deck,” the city said in a Request for Proposals (RFP) document that was issued in early April.

“This will also include the removal of existing construction joints and replacement with asphaltic plug joints. Additionally to the deck work, the separated pedestrian path textured surface will be removed and replaced.”

I asked about the Overlander sidewalk at the AT Public meeting last night. I wondered if it was deliberately terrible to slow down cyclists. It was suggested it was just bad construction. As a note, the William Bennett bridge sidewalk between Kelowna/West Kelowna is just as bad but much longer ... and some engineering company proudly put up a sign to let everyone know they built it.

Anyway, nice to know it will be smoothed ... but it won't be wider.

Overlanders Bridge AT path resurfacing update July 31

Still blocked off, they are sanding down and painting something on (epoxy?) looks like they're working from both ends so should go pretty fast.
