The City of Moose Jaw advises that Phase Nine of the Infrastructure Renewal Program continues to progress, and an additional closure will start on Tuesday, Sept. 3 on South Hill.
Work on Ninth Avenue SW and Coteau Street has progressed and contractors will now be closing the intersection of Eighth Avenue SW and Coteau Street starting on Tuesday. Currently, the closure spans from north of the Ninth Avenue and Coteau Street intersection all the way to Grandview Street, as progress continues on Coteau Street from Eighth Ave SW to 11th Avenue SW.
While the intersection is closed, heavy haul trucks are detoured to 32nd Avenue and alternate detours for light traffic will be in place.
Grace Street from Hawthorne Crescent to Thatcher Drive remains closed. Water main work continues on Rorrison Avenue from Grace Street to Corman Crescent.
Grace Street, east of the construction site, is open to local traffic only. The City continues to remind residents in Zone 2 who are impacted by construction on Hawthorne Crescent, Corman Crescent, Pascoe Drive W, and Princess Crescent backing onto Thatcher Drive, that collection has moved to front street pick up for the duration of this project.
Transit service is impacted, and two stops are closed during construction.
- Transit route No. 3 Athabasca West/Thatcher Drive will go to Grace Street, servicing the stops at Grace Street & 13th Ave. NW and Grace Street & Prince Charles Place.
- The route will continue to Gordon Road and 13th Ave. NW onto Princess Crescent proceeding to 13th Ave. NW, where it will return to the usual route.
The City of Moose Jaw reminds residents that all area businesses remain open during construction and access will be available via sidewalks and temporary walkways. Also, all work in these locations is dependent on favourable weather conditions.
Drivers are reminded to obey all temporary traffic signage and exercise caution in construction zones to keep everyone safe. No more #NotoriouslyClose calls.
