City crews will begin the Surface Overlay Paving process on Bow Trail/9 Avenue S.W. from Crowchild Trail S.W. to 3 Street S.E. as well as on 10 Avenue S.W. from Bow Trail to 19 Street S.W.

 

Construction work will begin, weather permitting, on Monday, May 6 and continue through until the first week of June, between the hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and in the evening hours.

 

Parking and lane restrictions will be in effect on multiple streets in and around the area during construction. Single lane closures will occur during the day, between the hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and in the evening hours.  

 

Multiple lane closures and side street closures will only occur during evenings and weekends, with Calgary Police Service on site for assistance.

 

Up-to-date traffic restrictions and detours regarding this construction work will be available the week of April 29 at Calgary.ca/trafficinfo. 

 

“No Parking” signs will be placed approximately 12 hours before parking restrictions begin. Transit routes along this road will maintain regular scheduled service during construction.

 

Regular maintenance and upgrading is an important part of improving the safety and extending the life-cycle of our roadways. When more extensive repair methods are required, pavement rehabilitation is carried out through pavement rehabilitation or the Surface Overlay Paving program.

 

The Surface Overlay Paving program includes several important steps, such as milling, adjusting manholes and sidewalk repair.  For a detailed description of the program please visit Calgary.ca and type “Surface Overlay Paving” into the search bar.

 

Paving is prioritized based on specific guidelines for road conditions. Roads that experience high traffic volumes need proactive rehabilitation to maintain the safety of the road as well as increase its service life. Performing preventative construction can avoid hazards like potholes, cracks and frost heaves and lessen the need for continuous maintenance.

The City of Calgary would like to thank motorists for their patience during construction. Please drive with caution in construction zones and adhere to the speed limit and traffic controls. To view the full paving schedule, please visit calgary.ca for details.
