40 Avenue Rehabilitation  

The 40 Avenue rehabilitation project is a preventative maintenance project to improve road infrastructure throughout Wetaskiwin, improve pedestrian connectivity, improve drainage, and reduce flooding by:  

• Removing deteriorated road and sidewalk infrastructure and replacing substructures. 
• Repaving 40 Avenue to enhance durability and reduce maintenance requirements.
• Integrating stormwater design improvements that will reduce ponding and seasonal damage.
