North Battleford’s 100th Street rehabilitation project is a few days behind schedule as a result of rain delays earlier in the month, but work continues to progress as planned, says the City.
1400 block
Preparations were to begin this weekend for paving on the 1400 block, with paving commencing
later in the week. Once paving is complete, this block will be fully opened to traffic.
1500 block
Patch paving on the 1500 block is scheduled for Monday, and surface paving is planned for
later in the week. Once paving is complete this block will be opened to traffic. Businesses
and residences on the 1500 block have been disconnected from temporary water supplies,
and the Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory required as a result of the construction work
has been lifted.
1600 block
Underground water and sewer repairs on the 1600 block are scheduled to be completed early
next week. Power line crews will begin work on the 1600 block, and road patching will
progress throughout the week. Depending on the progress of the underground work,
power line work and road patching, the surface paving on the 1600 block may begin next
week. The 1600 block will remain closed for next week, but everyone is reminded that
businesses are still accessible from the avenues and back alleys.
1700 block
Full water main replacement will begin early next week on the 1700 block. Businesses will be
connected to temporary water supplies, and will be placed on a Precautionary Drinking Water
Advisory while the water main is replaced. The 1700 block will be closed to through traffic,
and most businesses will be accessible from the avenues and back alleys. Access will be
maintained to Sound City from the north on 100th Street. The water main replacement and
subsequent road patching on the 1700 block is expected to take two to three weeks.
1800 block
Power line work may begin next week on the 1800 block which will result in access
disruptions and road closures on that block as new street light cables are trenched in.
The City urges motorists to use caution when travelling through the work zones, and respect
the safety of workers. Motorists should also be reminded to use caution, and respect the
residents when travelling along detour routes.
