Seventh Street from 2nd Avenue to 3rd Avenue is closed in Fernie for the Elk Valley Family Society’s mixed-use redevelopment project.
The housing project is at the site of the old fire hall and will feature 44 new rental homes with a mix of studio, one and two-bedroom units.
There will also be nearly 3,000 square feet of commercial space on the ground level.
The road was closed today to facilitate the relocation of a hydrant and to connect utilities to the site.
The road will be closed for approximately two weeks.
Traffic will be detoured through 6th Street and 8th Street.
