CHILLIWACK – The City of Chilliwack says a public works project in Sardis that began last fall could be substantially completed by next month.

The city wrote on its website that the Knight Road multi-use pathway project was tendered under the 2025 Active Transportation Upgrades.

While the city says the Knight Road project is scheduled to be completed in March 2026, there’s still line painting and pathway paving to complete down the road.

The project consists of the following public works improvements:

  • Full-depth asphalt removal.
  • Construction of a 3m-wide multi-use asphalt pathway.
  • Creation of a grassed and tree-lined boulevard between roadway and the multi-use pathway.
  • Installation of barrier and roll over concrete curb and driveway letdowns as required.
  • Installation of storm drainage works including catch basins, lawn basins, storm service tie-ins, rock pit, infiltration and swales.
  • New road markings and signage changes.
  • Landscaping and property restorations.

The pathway, which is located on the south side of the road, is intended to connect pedestrians and cyclists from the Valley Rail Trail to Chilliwack River Road in order to create a safer roadway for active transportation users.
