Phase 2 of Centennial Street redevelopment project in Sylvan Lake to begin Sept. 9

Sep 3, 2024 | 12:07 PM

Town of Sylvan Lake PSA — Phase 2 of the Centennial Street Redevelopment project is scheduled to begin on September 9, 2024. This phase includes improving the intersection at 50 Avenue and Centennial Street. We hope to finish the majority of Phase 2 this fall. Phase 2 finishing touches are scheduled for spring 2025. Please keep in mind timelines are weather dependent. Thanks to all the amazing Lakers for their patience during construction. The new intersection will bring much needed improvements in safety and traffic flow downtown. We also thank everyone who continues to support our local businesses during the construction.

Construction Break

We scheduled a 2-year break from downtown construction once Phase 2 construction is complete

This gives both residents and businesses a break to recover and plan before Phase 3 begins
