Construction zone safety in winter

With Calgary currently under a severe snow storm, The City is reminding drivers to be cautious around construction zones.

While there is a general slow-down of construction activities this time of year, some work does continue through the winter months. It is important for motorists to continue to adhere to construction zone speed limits, signage, and detours.

There are currently some ongoing planned and emergency road construction projects that are expected to cause traffic delays.

• 14 Street S.W. at 90 Avenue/ Heritage Drive  - Constructing a number of longer-term improvements to the intersections, including new turning lanes and adjusting the signals and street lighting in the area. Work will be ongoing through the winter and into the spring.
• 14 Street N.W. from Kensington Road to 2 Avenue N.W. - Emergency watermain repairs started on the weekend, and will continue through the week. Repairs will take more time to complete due to the heavy snowfall and cold temperatures.
• Memorial Drive Bank Restoration – This flood recovery work is being  done in an effort to stabilize the riverbank after the flood. Eastbound Memorial Drive is reduced to one lane between Centre Street and 3 Street N.W. from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. Construction will be ongoing until late December.

The City of Calgary and our crews would like to thank motorists for their patience and attention during construction in this winter season.
