Traffic disruptions expected after city releases summer road construction schedule

The City of Grande Prairie will begin road construction on numerous roads as part of its annual roadway improvements in May.

The City says crews will be operating Monday to Saturday throughout the project, beginning with the resurfacing of 102nd Street between 97th Avenue and 104th Avenue on May 7th, with an anticipated completion date sometime in “early June.”

Following the beginning of the resurfacing, two other projects are scheduled throughout the warm season including projects on 100th Avenue between 102nd Street and 105th Street and several Richmond Industrial Park area streets.

According to officials, the work will consist of asphalt milling, storm sewer repairs, concrete work, waterproofing, line markings, and landscaping.

Drivers can expect one-lane alternating traffic within construction zones, and the city is urging caution among commuters and reminds drivers to pay attention to directional signage to minimize traffic disruptions.

Temporary closures and detours will be coming and alternative routes will be in place to ensure safe navigation through the affected areas.

Transit routes and stops will also be impacted and residents are encouraged to visit the City Transit web page to plan for any trips.
