The city’s planned UPAR - Underground Pipes and Asphalt Replacement work on 100th Street in North Battleford will not take place until later in the summer.
A draft letter from the city to local residents had indicated a May start to the underground pipe replacement and streetscape work on the 1100 block of 100th Street.
However, City Engineer Bob Anthony has confirmed to the News-Optimist that a decision has been made to push back construction to July and August.
The reason, according to Anthony, is that traffic volumes are lighter during the summer months when the schools are on summer break.
He added the city will keep the public informed with more specific schedule information as construction approaches.
A public open house is planned about the entire project at Don Ross Centre Room 107 at 7 pm on Feb. 7.
