Sunday’s big race will start at Skaha Lake Park on Penticton’s southern end, with riders heading south along Eastside Road in a loop travelling through Okanagan Falls, Oliver and Kaleden before returning to the park to cross the finish line.
While this new route reduces the need for extensive road closures, anyone travelling through Penticton and the South Okanagan on Sunday, July 13, is reminded to expect congestion and delays between 6:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.
The busiest intersection will be on Highway 97 at Skaha Lake Road (the southwest entrance/exit to Penticton). Drivers are recommended to use Eastside Road wherever possible (after 8 a.m.).
Also, Skaha Lake Park will have limited parking options on Sunday. And anyone planning to access Penticton Airport is reminded to allow extra time.
Road closures include:
- July 13: South Beach Drive (local access only): 3:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.
- July 13: Parkview Street (full closure 3:30 a.m. - 8 a.m. and partial closure 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.)
