Crews will begin the final phase of construction on the 32nd Avenue Reconstruction project as early as next week.
The work includes the replacement of aging infrastructure such as water main, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer utility lines, and road and sidewalk pavement, between 18th and 15th Streets.
Starting as early as Tuesday, September 3, the intersection of 32nd Avenue and 15th Street will be closed to all traffic. The closure is expected to remain in place for the month of September.
Detour routes are available along 30th and 35th Avenues (please see map below). Access will be maintained for local area businesses.
Please slow down if travelling near the area and obey all traffic control signage. The City apologizes for any inconvenience this road closure may cause and appreciates everyone’s patience while this major infrastructure project is being completed.
The 32nd Avenue Reconstruction Project is part of City Council’s commitment to replacing aged infrastructure that is the foundation of the services the City provides. Funding for the project is provided, in part, by the Government of Canada, through the Federal Gas Tax Fund.
