The City of Cranbrook is getting ready to start a pair of key construction projects.
City officials said the 4th Street North Phase 2 reconstruction and Shadow Mountain Sanitary Sewer Servicing projects should get underway in the coming weeks.
Work on the 4th Street North Phase 2 reconstruction will continue from last year, and will focus on a stretch of road from 17th Avenue North to Kootenay Street.
“This construction phase will replace all the aging infrastructure like water mains and services, sanitary sewer mains and services, and new storm sewer infrastructure,” said city officials. “New curb, gutter, sidewalk, streetlights, and pavement will also be installed.”
The city hired Mackay Contracting to do the job, with work expected to start this week and be finished in late August.
Meanwhile, work on the Shadow Mountain Sanitary Sewer Servicing project is expected to get underway by Monday.
“This major infrastructure project will connect the Shadow Mountain community to the City’s wastewater collection system, with nearly 3 km of sanitary sewer main and three sewage lift stations and control structures.”
The city has contracted Copan Civil LP to do the job, and the work is expected to be finished by late October or early November.
Drivers are asked to use caution around both construction sites.
“Those travelling near or around these construction sites must follow all signage and any direction provided by contract staff and traffic control personnel,” said city officials.
“Residents who live in and around these sites, where construction will impact access to your property, our contractors will reach out to you directly to notify you in advance of any disruptions and how long these disruptions may last.”
Garbage and recycling pickup will remain on schedule in the impacted areas.
