Expect temporary detours and traffic changes on Anders Road starting Monday (Mar. 24) as construction begins on upgrades to improve the road for pedestrians and cyclists.

The project includes stormwater upgrades, a new bike lane, a sidewalk, and better street lighting. Work will take place in three phases between the roundabout at Boucherie Road and just past Anders Park. Crews will be on-site Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with construction expected to wrap up by the end of June.

Project breakdown:

Phase 1: March 24 – mid-April
Location: Anders and Olalla Road intersection to the new Fire Hall #32.
What to expect: Single-lane alternating traffic.

Phase 2: Mid-April – mid-May
Location: Roundabout at Boucherie Road to Teal Road.
What to expect: Full road closure. Detours will be in place via Teal Road and Skyline Road.

Phase 3: Mid-May – end of June
