Two-lane traffic has temporarily returned on 132nd Avenue between 97B Street and 99th Street on Highway 670 near Keddies.
Despite the reopening, the city maintains that traffic flow will continue to be impacted throughout the week as paving operations get underway later this week.
Repairs come following the incident involving a CN contractor accidentally damaging an Aquatera water main during railway work earlier this month. As a result, CN hired a contractor to complete the necessary repairs to the roadway.
During the temporary period, two lanes of traffic are open to passenger vehicles with periods of one lane of alternating traffic to accommodate paving operations. During this time, no semi-trucks are permitted “until further notice.”
Semi-trucks entering the city from the east are asked to divert to Highway 43 as the usual truck route remains closed.
Officials suggest that all construction and repair work is subject to weather conditions.
