RED DEER- Temporary road and lane closures, due to construction, will impact traffic in the city over the next few weeks.

The 67 Street/Johnstone Drive roundabout is nearing completion, and temporary lane and road closures are required to complete paving on surrounding roadways.

– Johnstone Drive will close from 67 Street to Edgar Industrial Drive on Saturday, August 12.

– Orr Drive will close from 66 Street to 67 Street on Sunday, August 13.

Detour maps for the Johnstone Drive and Orr Drive closures are available online at reddeer.ca/construction.

A new construction project at the 19 Street and Taylor Drive intersection is scheduled to start on Monday, August 14 and will include concrete work, new traffic lights, road widening and additional turn lanes.

The upgrades to this intersection are in preparation for the Southpointe Junction development and as part of the future configuration for the Gaetz Avenue / Queen Elizabeth 2 Highway interchange.

Temporary lane closures will be required but traffic flow will be maintained in all directions.
