As Phase 2 of the Central Business District Replacement Program (downtown construction) continues, the City of Lloydminster reminds motorists and pedestrians crews often remain on-site in the evening and on weekends. Please remember to approach construction zones with caution, stay outside of the fenced area at all times and follow all posted signage to make sure everyone goes home safely.
As a reminder, alley access remains open to all businesses in the downtown construction area, including those along 50 Street between 50 Avenue and 49 Avenue.
What’s happening this week (July 24-29), weather permitting:
- Storm main installation to the west of the intersection of 50 Ave. and 50 Street then proceeding to each tie-in.
Tasks completed the week of July 10-22:
- Sanitary sewer main installation is complete throughout the project, including the tie-ins at the 50 Avenue and 50 Street intersection.
- Service lines into each building have all been discovered and tested.
- Storm sewer main installation began.
Weather permitting, Phase 2 is from June 10 to Oct. 31.
To help ensure the safety of workers, motorists and pedestrians, the City of Lloydminster reminds everyone to allow extra time for travel, obey all signage and follow proper detours. Pedestrians should take extra precautions and maintain a safe distance from construction fencing and equipment.
The project’s second phase begins at the conclusion of Phase 1 and is expected to be completed in early October, weather permitting.
Downtown Parking & Navigation
During construction, 24 temporary parking stalls are available at Synergy Credit Union at the corner of 49 Avenue and 49 Street. These temporary parking stalls will replace the 20 spots that will be unavailable during construction. Motorists are advised to use the dedicated parking stalls.
Detour and local traffic only signs will be placed throughout the area to show traffic and visitors how to access properties while avoiding the construction site. There will be no parking or pedestrian access permitted in the work zone until the end of the construction period. Emergency access will be maintained to all affected businesses at all times through alternate routes.
