The City of Grande Prairie is starting a road rehabilitation project on 92nd Street between 74th Avenue and Woody Channel on August 8th.
As a result, a reduced speed limit of 30 kilometres per hour will be implemented in the area and drivers are asked to cooperate with all signage and directions from flaggers, with the expectation of potential delays.
According to the city, the project aims to accommodate current and future traffic needs to enhance the quality and longevity of Grande Prairie’s roads.
The project includes asphalt milling and road structure replacement, new roadway markings such as crosswalk and line painting, and landscaping enhancements along the roadway.
During this time, access to local traffic will be maintained; however, short-term road closures are anticipated, but no transit routes will be affected. Pathway access on the east side of 92nd Street will remain open throughout the construction.
Officials suggest that the project is anticipated to be complete by early September depending on weather conditions.
