Ponoka set to begin paving and concrete work

Jul 16, 2019 | 2:14 PM

The Town of Ponoka’s annual Pavement and Concrete Improvement Programs for 2019 are set to begin.

The programs are an essential component of the Town’s Asset Management Plan and a key part of the Town’s commitment to the ongoing maintenance and continued improvement of municipal roadways and infrastructure.

The annual programs identify and prioritize aging roadways, sidewalks, curbs and gutters in Ponoka that require improvement and replacement based on the condition and importance of each piece of infrastructure within the Town’s roadway system. The main objective of the programs is to provide users of Town roadways and infrastructure with improved service levels.

Pavement improvements planned for 2019 may result in temporary road or lane closures and traffic controls as needed at each location. The work planned at the following locations will include pavement replacement, asphalt patching or chip sealing, depending on the improvement identified at each location.
