You can expect some delays if you’re having to drive near the intersection of 116 Avenue and 102 Street as crews will kick off installation of a new concrete storm vault necessary for collecting storm water flows from the 116 Ave and 102 St storm mains.
This means construction crews will start at the north side of the intersection, focusing on storm vault installation itself, and then will move to the south side to install pipes connecting the new vault to an overflow pipe that will lead to a nearby ditch.
For drivers, this means, among other things, no left turns will be allowed from 116 Ave onto 102 St northbound. Detours will be implemented for vehicles turning north from 116 Ave onto 102 St, and for those travelling south on 102 St north of 116 Ave. The intersection will be closed to through traffic on 102 St, with detours for northbound traffic.
“This infrastructure enhancement is vital for our city’s continued growth and environmental stewardship,” says Grande Prairie’s Capital Construction Supervisor, Mark Hoseasson. “It will significantly improve our storm water management system, ensuring we can handle the demands of our community effectively.”
The work could take upwards of three weeks to complete, weather permitting.
