The City of Lloydminster, in conjunction with Knelson Sand & Gravel Ltd., will begin the annual Street Improvement Program this spring.
Due to the age and condition of the existing infrastructure, each year, the City rehabilitates, maintains and replaces the existing asphalt concrete pavement, concrete curb and gutter and sidewalks to ensure adequate levels of service for residents and businesses throughout Lloydminster.
The 2023 Street Improvement Program is divided into two major categories and locations:
Street Improvements
- 31 Street from 57 Avenue to 55 Avenue
- 50 Avenue from 54 Street to 55 Street
- 52 Avenue from 27 Street to 29 Street
- 49 Avenue from 26 Street to 29 Street
- 49 Avenue from 32 Street to 36 Street
- 45 Avenue from 46 Street to 50 Street
- 46 Avenue from 49 Street to 50 Street
- 57A Avenue from 37 Street to 40 Street
Sidewalk Improvements
- 49 Avenue from 32 Street south to the existing sidewalk
Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the duration of construction. Vehicle access will be restricted intermittently to permit certain portions of the work to be completed, but it will be restored as quickly as possible.
Residents must follow marked detour routes and cautiously drive when passing construction crews. Weather permitting, construction is expected to be completed by Sept. 1.
