Seagull Walkway Upgrade

Work under this project consists of rehabilitating  the north section of  Seagull Walkway, the 240m long raised concrete pedestrian pathway located downtown along the City’s foreshore. The walkway was originally constructed in three (3) separate sections over a time period of approximately sixteen (16) years, starting in 1980 with the construction of the north section. This was followed by the south section built in 1993 and the Bridge section over the old Ocean Pacific Building boat ramp, built in 1996. Since then the City has continually monitored the condition of the full walkway system with the north section having reached the point that rehabilitation is required.

This project includes the rehabilitation of the north section only; the bridge and south section will be addressed at a future date.

Seagull Walkway connects Robert Ostler Park to the Government Wharf on Pier Street.

City Council approved $1.5 million in the 2021-2030 budget deliberations. An application for Provincial funding was submitted in Q2, 2021 but was unfortunately unsuccessful.

The design assignment was originally awarded to WSP Consultants who completed the first design concept. During the review of this design, WSP was unable to meet the City’s requirements as a result of COVID-19. As a result, McElhanney has been retained to complete the design process.

At this time, it is anticipated that construction will occur following the completion of the permitting process. Visit Applications, Comments and Reasons for Decision for more information.

Yes, the affected sections of the walkway will need to be closed during construction; length of time and duration is not yet known. Please refer to our project webpage at www.campbellriver.ca/construction for further information and updates on this Capital Project.

The City is working with our local partners and stakeholders on community outreach activities and project design.
