The City has closed sections of Martin Street and Fairview Road in the stretch behind Penticton Public Library to conduct immediate electrical repairs.
The road is closed in both directions from the intersection of Winnipeg and Fairview while Electrical crews replace the defective electrical transformer. Work is anticipated to wrap up by 1:15 p.m. today.
The bike lane is on the opposite side of the repairs and will remain open.
Traffic may use the Library parking lot for access to the 700 block of Martin Street. Access will be available to local traffic only during this time.
Anyone travelling through this area is asked to slow down, watch for signage and traffic controllers, and follow the detours.
