The Salmon Arm Fair Parade will not be affected by construction on Shuswap Street South.

City engineer Jenn Wilson said the road will not be paved, but parade traffic will be able to continue.

"The contractor knows the parade is going on. It's still gravel."

The estimated end time for construction on the street was Sept. 19 but Wilson said the end date is currently unknown.

The parade starts at 10:45 a.m. Friday on 10th Ave. SW behind the fairgrounds and then turns up Shuswap Street before crossing the Trans-Canada Highway and then turning onto Hudson Ave. It will then turn onto Ross Street before turning down Lakeshore Drive. It will end near the waterslides on 10th Street SW.

Construction on Shuswap Street South started May 30.

The construction season will be winding down, with a final city project that "may start up is a sanitary main rehabilitation project on 6 Street adjacent to City Hall, weather and time permitting," said Wilson.
