Contractors began overlaying 0.4 km of road in Clairmont today. The section of 156 Avenue, between 101 street and 102 street, and 100 street is anticipated to be completed by the end of July, weather dependent.

Overlay work involves adding a new layer of pavement. This type of work can also include minor spot fixes and milling the surface on occasion.

Traffic may experience minor delays over the duration of the project. Speed will be reduced in the construction zones. As well, traffic may be reduced to a single alternating lane. Motorists are advised to obey all signs, flag persons, exercise extreme caution when travelling through the site and near crews and equipment and allow extra time for travel.

The yellow line indicates where the road construction will be taking place.

The County is investing a total of $31.1million on capital road and bridge projects this year. New construction this year includes 18.4 km of road surfacing including the paving of gravel roads, surfaced road overlays, and re-construction.

The County thanks motorists for their patience and cooperation throughout the construction season.
