New traffic light, safety improvements coming to Luckakuck Way in front of Chilliwack Superstore
CHILLIWACK — Chilliwack City Council awarded a nearly $1.3 million contract at its meeting Tuesday (July 2) to Breakwater Contracting Ltd. to build a traffic signal on Luckakuck Way and implement safety improvements in front of Real Canadian Superstore in Chilliwack.
According to a City of Chilliwack staff report authored by Doug Mossey, manager of transportation and drainage, two tenders were received for the “Luckakuck Way Traffic Signal and Safety Improvements” project. The low bid of $1,298,050.95 from Breakwater was accepted and deemed compliant.
The project consists of civil and electrical public works improvements needed to construct a new signalized intersection, concrete medians, driveway access changes off and on-site, multi-use pathways and street lighting works, according to the city staff report.
The project limits are encompassed within Luckakuck Way from the curve east of Vedder Road to the existing multi-use path at the railway overpass. The work includes the construction of a multi-use pathway on the east side of Luckakuck Way, traffic signals at the northernmost Superstore access, relocation of one Superstore access, reconfiguration of other accesses, conversion of the existing two-way left turn lane to dedicated left turn lanes with raised medians, and the installation of additional streetlights at the traffic signal and along the multi-use pathway.
