CHILLIWACK — City crews are looking to take advantage of the clear skies as night work resumes in a section of southwest Chilliwack.

Night work was cancelled and rescheduled last week due to weather, but Tyson Road between Balmoral Avenue and Insley Avenue, and South Sumas Road between Dover Street and Evans Road will be closed tonight, May 23, at 7 p.m. to May 24, 6 a.m.

“Works will include milling and paving,” wrote the City of Chilliwack. “The work will be completed at night to minimize the impact to the neighbourhood and avoid traffic disruption over and extended period.”
