The construction activities include milling the existing road surface, laying a new pavement surface, spot replacement of concrete curbs and sidewalks, minor repairs to the storm sewer infrastructure, as well as landscaping enhancements.

Crews are scheduled to operate from Monday to Saturday, with anticipated completion by the end of June.

Traffic is restricted but maintained throughout the construction areas. Please note that the speed limit is reduced to 30 km/hour and we kindly ask drivers to exercise caution, be mindful of flag people and anticipate potential traffic delays.

“The City of Grande Prairie appreciates the patience and understanding of residents during construction, and we recognize the impact it has on your morning commutes and daily routines. We thank you for your support as this investment in the road network underscores our commitment to improving transportation infrastructure for the entire community’s benefit,” says Mayor Jackie Clayton.
