The City of Grande Prairie is advising residents of a culvert replacement that will lead to temporary closures on some areas of Highway 670.
The work will see a closure between Range Road 55 and Range Road 54, beginning on August 7th at 5:00 a.m. with the work expected to be completed by August 9th at 10:00 p.m.
The city says the work is “critical” as it is in direct response to a culvert failure, requiring immediate attention to ensure the safety of drivers in GP.
During the closure, local traffic will still have access to properties just past Range Road 55 as detours have been established, and electronic messaging boards have been installed to inform commuters.
Eastbound traffic flow on Highway 670 will detour north on Range Road 55, returning to Highway 670 via Range Road 54 off Highway 43. Westbound traffic will detour north on Range Road 54 to Highway 43, returning to Highway 670 via Range Road 55.
Heavy trucks are advised to utilize Highway 43 during the closure to minimize traffic disruptions, and the city maintains that there will be no impact on transit services or pedestrian pathways during this time.
