Lacombe Main Street construction update

City of Lacombe officials say the first week of construction work on the Main Street Project was a busy one.

The City says crews have completed asphalt milling from Highway 2A to 53 Street and that ATCO Gas is completing the majority of their remaining work. Some street light standards were also removed, and the sanitary sewer was relined from Highway 2A into the Stage 1 area.

Stage 1 road closure is now in place. Street parking is available on most roads, and 49 Street has been converted to a two-way road with perpendicular parking available on one side. New perpendicular parking stalls were also installed at the south end of 52 Street – behind the old police station – to increase available parking in that area.

Street furniture has also been removed from the parking area adjacent to Highway 2A, providing additional temporary parking area during construction.

Meantime, sidewalks around the work area remain open for pedestrians.

Pidherney’s crews will soon begin preparation for the excavation and removal of the decommissioned gas main and subsequent replacement of the sanitary main. The gas pipe contains small amounts of asbestos, so those in the downtown area may see a small crew wearing isolation suits handling the pipe, City officials say, adding there is no risk to the public.
