Paving begins on key arterial in Chilliwack, will last another 4 days

Aug 13, 2026 | 8:24 AM

CHILLIWACK – Construction has now begun on repaving a beat-up stretch of road that runs in front of the Chilliwack Coliseum and Townsend Park in Chilliwack.

The City of Chilliwack says paving on Wolfe Road from Dyke Road to Sunset Drive began yesterday (Wednesday, August 12) and will continue for another four days.

The city notified the public about the repaving yesterday on its social media page but continually limits the ability of the public to comment on its Facebook page.

Those four days are today, tomorrow (Friday, August 14) and into next week on Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 17-18 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Motorists should expect single-lane alternating traffic and delays that will likely test their patience, given the amount of construction that’s happening throughout Chilliwack on arterials like Prest Road, Watson Road, South Sumas Road and other parts of Chilliwack.

Visit chilliwack.com/forcemain for more details on the project.
