Work began Wednesday on Kimberley’s McLeod Avenue Drainage Project with the installation of a new culvert.
The first stage of the project requires part of McLeod Avenue to be closed to through traffic Wednesday and possibly Thursday if crews need more time, according to the city.
Residents will still be able to reach their homes, though some may need to use McDonald Avenue to access their properties.
Drivers are being asked to follow posted signs and directions from work crews.
Once the drainage culvert is installed, crews are expected to begin ditch and berm work along the east side of McLeod Avenue in the coming weeks. The city said it does not expect another full road closure will be required during that work.
The city expects asphalt patching on the road to be completed before winter.
