CHILLIWACK — Drivers may have to alter their travel routes as crews perform sewer infrastructure work on a portion of Schweyey Road over the next couple of weeks. 

Starting February 9, the road between Chilliwack Mountain Road and Cedarbrook Road will be closed Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Traffic to and from Schweyey Road will have to detour via the Chilliwack Mountain, Lickman, Yale, Evans, Ashwell, and Wolfe Roads, as well as Eagle Landing Parkway. 

“Please expect delays and congestion, and obey the direction of traffic control personnel,” said the City of Chilliwack.

The 200-millimetre-diameter sanitary forcemain along Schweyey provides sewage services for Chilliwack Mountain and parts of Industrial Way and Progress Way. 

The replacement project involves installing a proposed 500-millimetre-diameter pipe to boost overall capacity and support growth in the development and catchment areas.

Work began in November and is scheduled for completion in March 2026.
