A pair of construction projects will result in some traffic delays throughout the County of Grande Prairie.
Construction on Range Road 53, north of Township Road 714 to the city limit will continue as scheduled with some changes for drivers to be mindful of. The project is expected to be completed by October 31st, depending on the weather; however, moving forward, traffic on Range Road 53 will be restricted to local traffic only until the project’s completion.
During this time, drivers are asked to detour using Range Road 54 to the west, or Range Road 52 to the east. County officials maintain that access to Harry Balfour School from Township Road 714 remains unaffected.
The second project will see construction on Resources Road, south of Township Road 704A, with the expected start date of September 26th.
As a result, speed will be reduced in the construction zone and traffic will be reduced to a single alternating lane.
The county urges all residents to obey all signs and flaggers, exercise extreme caution, and allow for extra time during construction.
