Poor weather conditions has slowed infrastructure replacement and road construction at the York Road and Dracup Avenue intersection say Yorkton's Manager of Engineering meaning a delay in the road opening. The crossing is now not expected to open until the end of September.
"With that said, the project has been progressing well the past few weeks, but rainy conditions continue to delay work," details Josh Mickleborough, City Manager of Engineering and Project Manager. "Normally August and September offer the best conditions for construction, but this year has been the exception."
Detour routes will remain in effect until further notice. The City reports both it, and the contractor are making every effort to complete the project as soon as possible and they regret the inconvenience for residents and businesses in the city, particularly those directly impacted by the closure.
