About This Project

The City of Campbell River is moving forward on critical upgrades to services along Erickson Road. Beginning in spring 2026, water and storm service infrastructure will be replaced between Nature Park Drive and Larwood Creek crossing. See below for the latest news about the project, including traffic disruptions and progress updates.

Project Description

Beginning spring 2026 (estimated) the City will begin a significant project to replace water lines along Erickson Road that have reached the end of their operational life. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Work will occur roughly between just west of Nature Park Drive to the Larwood Creek crossing.
  • Water infrastructure will be replaced to address aging and expand for growth.
  • The City will also upgrade stormwater infrastructure to current standards while the construction is underway.
  • Upgrades to the surface of Erickson Road (sidewalks, multi-use path, lighting) will be completed if grant funding is awarded. The City is seeking funding now.
  • Single-lane alternating will be in place for the duration of the work.
  • The City will work with BC Transit and waste collection to maintain service.
  • The project is supported by the Government of Canada's Canada Community-Building Fund.

We are working to keep you informed of the plan ahead - check back here for updates along the way!

    Tender posted for contractor to complete underground utility upgrades

    Critical upgrades are on their way for water and stormwater services on Erickson Road – with a tender for a construction contractor now posted.

    This marks a key step in the City of Campbell River’s Erickson Road Renewal Project, which will address necessary replacement of infrastructure that is currently at the end of its serviceable life.

    “This is an important project for everyone who relies on this key water service and means improved reliability for all moving forward,” said Grant Parker, Director of Operations. “We look forward to working with a contracting team that can deliver this effectively.”

    About the Project

    The Erickson Road Renewal Project includes the replacement of underground water and storm water infrastructure that is at the end of its serviceable life. Work will be completed between Larwood Creek crossing and just west of Nature Park Drive.

    • The first phase of the project will focus on the underground utilities’ replacement, with plans to restore the roadway to its current condition and infill sidewalks into sections where they don’t currently exist.

    • The City is also proactively pursuing grants funds that would allow for further surface improvements in future phases of work. The next phase could include surface improvements such as sidewalks, multi-use path, curbs and improved lighting.

    • Construction is expected to begin in spring 2026 and continue for 9 to 12 months.

    • Commuters and residents should expect single-lane alternating traffic throughout the construction period.

    Keeping Informed

    The City is committed to keeping residents and commuters informed about the project ahead. An engagement page has been created for the project and can be found at getinvolved.campbellriver.ca/Erickson-renewal.

    The City will share more information about traffic impacts, schedules, local impacts and more when it is available. Watch for more updates in the months ahead.
