Roadwork impacting access to airport starts today

Updated 11:37 am, Tuesday, August 5th:

The Prince George Airport says construction work on Sintich and Ellis Road will begin today, rather than Friday.

The Airport shared Okanagan Aggregates cited “unforeseen circumstances” for the early start, and road construction will last today (Tuesday) and tomorrow.

They also said road construction would resume road construction would resume after the weekend, but an exact day was not given.

The Airport also said Okanagan Aggregates will also do their best to minimize wait times for traffic.

Original Story:

Checked baggage screening is back up and running at the Prince George Airport after a brief malfunction.

The repairs on the machine were completed on Sunday – the issue caused a temporary disruption of the YXS’s screening procedure.

In addition, construction is set to begin on Friday, in the area of Ellis and Sintich roads, which could cause delays of 15 minutes as traffic will be single lane alternating.

The paving work is expected to last two weeks.
