August 16, 2023 update

Finishing replacing aging underground infrastructure, water mains, sanitary mains, storm mains, and lot services to the west of Dairy Queen

Finishing road construction before opening 50 Avenue from 46 Street to 47 Street. This section stays gravel until we are ready for first lift of asphalt paving in September

Starting August 17: Close 50 Avenue from 47 Street to 49 Street. 47 Street remains open including turns east onto 50 Avenue. Check out the detour plan

Instead of closing the whole area at once, construction starts at 47 Street and works westward along 50 Avenue towards 49 Street. This is so the 50 Avenue and 49 Street intersection can remain open for as long as possible

Start construction of new street lighting from 45 Street to 49 Street

50 Avenue, from Dairy Queen to Monarchos Centre

The intersection will remain open for the 2023 season. In 2024, the intersection will close again for a short time to place the final lift of asphalt, paint lines, and finalize the construction
