A partial road closure which came into effect on Jan. 18, will continue until Feb. 25 on Dewdney Trunk Rd. between 230 Street and 240 Street. This work would however be weather dependent.

The full road closure for the installation of sanitary infrastructure on 112 Avenue for the North East Albion development, will continue until Feb. 28, between 244 Street and 246 Street. 112 Avenue (between Lockwood Avenue and 252 Street) and Lockwood Avenue, will remain open but with intermittent single lane alternating traffic and minor delays.

The city had also announced a full road closure at the intersection of 280 Street and 112 Avenue on Dec. 1, 2021. This closure will remain in place until further notice, however, according to a Feb. 17 update, the city’s engineering department is expediting a design for the removal and replacement of the existing culvert. The timeline for the reconstruction could be as late as this summer, once the flows are minimal and environmental approvals are resolved. The city is also looking to have the culvert structurally assessed to possibly open the road to one lane of traffic until the replacement of the damaged culvert is completed.
