The City of Lloydminster and its construction partners will begin warranty work throughout the Highway 16 (44 Street) Rehabilitation Project area on Monday, July 17.
The rehabilitation project, completed in 2021 between 62 Ave. and 75 Ave., shows signs of premature asphalt degradation.
Following a comprehensive asphalt analysis, the City of Lloydminster, in conjunction with its engineering consultant and contractor, Knelsen Sand & Gravel Ltd., determined the removal and replacement of the asphalt is required.
As the roadway is not showing signs of structural issues, the asphalt replacement is anticipated to be much less invasive and progress much quicker.
Work will be split into three phases:
Phase 1: July 16-26 – Concrete warranty repairs. Rolling lane restrictions, but no intent to close intersections.
Phase 2: July 27 to Aug. 9 – 62 Ave. to 75 Ave. outside lane closures
Phase 3: Aug. 22-25 – 62 Ave. to 75 Ave. inside lane closures
Intermittent intersection closures on Highway 16 at 66 Ave. and 70 Ave. are expected, however, service to these intersections will be restored as quickly as possible after paving is completed.
Additional intersection closures have been identified in the traffic accommodation plan on the City of Lloydminster’s website.
Motorists are reminded to allow extra time for travel, slow down when driving in construction zones, and obey all signs, detours and barriers.
