Two lanes of traffic are temporarily open on 132 Avenue (Highway 670) between 97B Street and 99 Street. However, traffic flow will continue to be impacted this week to facilitate paving operations. Paving is anticipated to begin late this week. 

During this interim period:

• Two lanes of traffic are temporarily open to passenger vehicles, with periods of one lane of alternating traffic to accommodate paving. No semi-trucks are permitted on this segment until further notice.
• Semi-trucks entering the city from the east are to divert to Highway 43, as the usual truck route remains closed.

All construction and repair work is subject to weather conditions. The City appreciates the patience and cooperation of all residents and drivers during this period.

Background:

The original incident leading to the present traffic disruptions involved a CN contractor accidentally damaging an Aquatera water main during railway-associated work. CN has hired a contractor to complete the necessary repairs to the roadway.

The City of Grande Prairie manages the road infrastructure, while Aquatera Utilities Inc. is responsible for the water services. This incident underscores the collaborative efforts needed to manage and rectify such disruptions efficiently.
