A small portion of Ellis Street will be closed downtown for two days next week.

The road will be closed between Bernard Avenue and Lawrence Avenue as crews remove a construction hoist that’s been used on the site of Ella.

On Monday, it’ll be closed from 7:30 am until 8 pm, then it’ll be shut down to traffic from 9 am until 1 pm on Tuesday.

“Businesses in the area will remain open during the closure, with parking available on nearby downtown streets and within the Chapman Parkade on Lawrence Avenue,” says a release from the City of Kelowna. 

“Parkade parking is available at no charge during weekday evenings after 5 p.m. and all day Saturday and Sunday, except during special events.”

Construction of Ella is expected to be completed next year.
