Contract awarded for Highway 97 stabilization near Summerland

  • A $23.2 million contract has been awarded to Emil Anderson Construction Inc. for work on Highway 97, aiming to stabilize the slope beside the highway.
  • Construction is scheduled to start in the fall and finish by spring 2027, with the goal of returning the highway to a four-lane configuration.
  • The stabilization efforts will include building retaining walls and installing rock anchors, as well as drainage improvements after a rockslide closed the highway in August 2023.
  • Mayor Doug Holmes has called for a year-round alternate route to alleviate traffic issues while construction is ongoing.
