Construction on 116th Street near Westpointe delayed due to equipment concerns

The ongoing road rehabilitation project on 84th Avenue and 116th Street in Grande Prairie is experiencing some delays due to equipment availability.

As a result, the city says full-depth reclamation work scheduled to begin on August 21st is expected to begin on September 14th.

For truck drivers, over-height and heavy loads will be accommodated along 116th Street; however, all other truck traffic will use the 100th Avenue detour. The city maintains that local traffic and pedestrian access remains a priority throughout the project.

The work is now expected to be completed by the end of October, depending on the weather.

The city is reminding residents to allow for extra travel time, follow detours, and respect workers during the project’s duration.
