Road rehabilitation and traffic signal repair work is underway or set to start this month in the City of Grande Prairie.
The work, which is part of the 2025 capital construction season, includes traffic signal upgrades, full-depth reclamation work on roads, along with overlays, milling and paving.
Mayor Jackie Clayton says this the city’s capital construction program builds towards Grande Prairie being a stronger, safer and more connected city.
“These investments reflect our focus on maintaining the essential infrastructure residents rely on every day while planning responsibly for the future of our growing city,” Clayton says.
According to city officials, the improvement work is planned along 84th Avenue, 96th Street, 102nd Street, 102A Avenue, 114th Street, and 123rd Avenue, along with Crystal Lake Drive, Pinnacle Boulevard, Royal Oaks Drive, 68th Avenue and 97B Street.
Across the city, crews are already working on traffic signal repair and replacement at select intersections. The work done at these select intersections is said to be designed to help support pedestrian safety, the flow of traffic and long-term infrastructure reliability.
There are also a pair of road rehabilitation projects that are in the pre-engineering phase for sections of the old highway bypass, including the intersection of 116th Street and 100th Avenue, along with 100th Avenue from 124th Street to 132nd. The timelines of these projects could change as city officials work with consultants to confirm the scope of work. The construction for these projects is expected for 2025, however some if not all the work could be pushed to 2026 depending on project requirements.
Storm drainage work, minor bridge repair, landscaping, tree management and playground enhancements are also projects that are included in the city’s capital construction plans.
