Road work has led to a number of traffic and transit impacts in the areas of 102nd Street and 116th Avenue.
According to the City of Grande Prairie, starting on September 7th, paving operations and a Full Depth Reclamation of the roadway will result in the south side of 102nd Street and 116th Avenue being closed for approximately seven days, depending on the weather.
As a result, northbound traffic on 102nd Street will be detoured eastbound on 115th Avenue, while southbound traffic on 102nd will not be allowed to pass through the 116th Avenue intersection and traffic west and eastbound will not be permitted to turn south onto 102nd Street.
The city maintains that school bus routes will be impacted; however, the project will not affect pick-up or drop-off, but parents should still expect some delays.
City transit will also be affected as stop 820 will be closed with riders directed to stop 426. Riders are advised that stop 822 will not be accessed by Route eight, but route four will continue to service the stop as 426.
