Traffic patterns in downtown Grande Prairie are scheduled to shift again on June 9th due to numerous construction projects around the city.
The city says the changes are necessary to accommodate deep storm infrastructure installation.
On June 9th, Northbound traffic on 100th Street, South of 116th Avenue will experience lane reductions, lane reductions will also occur on 116th Avenue at 99th Street for both East and Westbound traffic, and traffic between 100th Street and 102nd on 116th Avenue will shift to two-way traffic on the Westbound lanes early in the week.
City Capital Construction Supervisor Mark Hoseasson calls the adjustments “essential” to ensure the safe and efficient completion of the project.
“We appreciate drivers taking extra care and being patient as we implement these changes,” he says.
Message signs will be variable throughout this time and will be updated accordingly. The city is urging drivers to obey flaggers and all posted signage.
Additionally, commuters are encouraged to plan their trips ahead of time as the changes are expected to cause delays in transit routes.
