The City of Grande Prairie has released several progress updates on the ongoing construction on 116th Avenue and 102nd Street.
According to the city, “significant progress” has been made between 102nd Street and 100th Street, and some previously closed roads have opened up for traffic as a result.
The full-depth reclamation work will continue on 116th Avenue in the coming days; however, 102nd Street south of 116th Avenue has opened up for traffic. Despite the reopening, 102nd Street north of 116th Avenue will close on September 11th to allow for continued FDR operations and is likely to remain closed until the 16th.
Additionally, traffic will switch to the eastbound lanes on 116th Avenue to accommodate the next stage of work. Paving operations will follow.
On the transit side, bus stop 820 will remain closed for the duration of the construction project, and riders will continue being redirected to stop 426.
The city maintains that the project remains on track to be completed by the end of September.
