Construction Projects

This project will include extending the storm line to improve road drainage, replacing curb and gutter with curb and gutter with wick drain and milling and overlay of the entire surface. 

Expect the Following Construction Stages:

1. Curb & Gutter Replacements July 12-30 – During this construction, the road will remain open, however lanes widths will be reduced.   Flaggers will be onsite in case of any conflicts.
2. Storm Sewer Repairs July 14-23 – 57 Street will be closed at two separate times to repair catchbasin and its leads.   Detours will be setup to prevent traffic from entering any open excavations.  Please be aware of the signage and keep out of any barricaded areas.
3. Roadway Repairs August 9-14 – During this phase, asphalt repairs will be completed while maintaining one lane of traffic.  Please note there will be open excavations so be aware of the signage and barricades.  As well flag persons will be onsite to direct traffic.  
4. Roadway Milling & Overlays August 16-31 – In preparation for this stage, the road will remain open to one lane traffic.   Flaggers will be directing traffic so please pay attention.  As well, we will be using large equipment including road pavers and compactors to lay tack and asphalt.  Please note that the tack can be messy.  Please keep off with vehicles and foot traffic until it has time to cure.   Please respect the lane closures and stay clear of the area until completion.  

This reconstruction will include relocation of shallow utilities, rehabilitation of the ditches, replacement of culverts, raising the roadway elevation, rebuilding the road base, and an asphalt surface. The ditch and culvert rehabilitation will extend north along the 62 Street right of way to the 50 Avenue right of way.

Any Encroachments onto the road right of way or utility right of way will need to be removed by residents before July 16, 2021. Any encroachments that are not removed will be removed by the Contractor and not replaced or salvaged. There would be extra costs associated with salvaging any encroachments that the City will not be held responsible for. Letters to individual properties with known encroachments will follow shortly. 

Telus and Eastlink line relocations are currently underway.

Nu Edge Construction Ltd. will mobilize to site in August following the shallow utility line relocations. Work is expected to be completed by September 4, 2021, weather dependent.

Residents will be given notice before their culvert is being replaced by Nu Edge Construction Ltd. at least 5 days in advance. Each culvert replacement is expected to last less than one day to limit disruption to resident’s access. On street parking will be provided for residents impacted by driveway closures.

Further details will follow on resident access during the road and paving work. The work will likely be completed in phases to limit disruption to resident’s access.

• New ramps along 56 Street
• Several of the worst sections of Willow Crescent
• Several of the worst Sections of Garwood Crescent

• Several other high priority sections throughout the City

The remaining work will be completed in  2022. This includes:

• Replacing the western half of the water main
• Replacing the sanitary main
• Replacing all remaining water and sanitary services
• Surface Restoration

Until all underground work is complete, the City will not be able to pave the road surface.  A temporary gravel surface will be used until all underground utility work is completed.

The remaining work anticipated for 2022 will require excavations in the yards of those homes that have not had service replacements yet.
