One lane passenger traffic opens up on 132nd Avenue following water main break

Limited traffic has been opened up on 132nd Avenue between 97B Street and 99th Street as repairs on an incident that occurred on July 9th have begun.

The incident that ultimately led to the road closure occurred the afternoon of July 9th and has since been revealed to be a large pothole that opened up near the train tracks in the area after a CN contractor allegedly damaged an Aquatera water main during their work on the railway.

The city says CN has retained a contractor to complete repairs on both the water line and roadway; however, the truck route remains closed and trucks entering the city eastbound are asked to divert to Highway 43.

During the repairs, one lane of alternating traffic will be open for passenger vehicles only, semi-trucks will not be permitted until further notice, and the city maintains that all work is weather-dependent.
