The Bertram Multiuse Overpass will establish a new, comfortable, accessible, and reliable route over Highway 97 for pedestrians, wheelchair users, scooter riders, and cyclists. It will connect the expanding neighborhoods on the south side of Highway 97 to Downtown and, eventually, to the broader active transportation network. This new pathway will enhance access to parks, workplaces, transit options, businesses, services, and amenities for individuals residing and working on both sides of Highway 97.
The $12.1M project was funded through a collaborative partnership between the City of Kelowna, the Government of Canada, which contributed $4 million through the Canada Community Building Fund administered by the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM), and the Province of BC, which provided $7.2 million through the Growing Communities Fund.
