Jun 3, 2019 | 6:39 AM

PONOKA- Work is getting underway to replace the underground and surface infrastructure on 52 Avenue (between 50 Street and 51 Street).

The project will include the complete replacement and realignment of the existing infrastructure on that section of 52 Ave. with new sanitary sewer mains, a new water main, storm main, new service connections, new sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and a new roadway.

Underground improvements on the street will be completed first, followed by surface improvements.

The paving of the new roadway will occur in 2020 to allow time for the roadway to settle following the excavation work.

The existing underground infrastructure on that portion of 52 Ave. had reached the end of its lifespan and will be replaced with new PVC pipes that are estimated to renew the infrastructure lifecycle for more than 50 years.

Work will begin at the east end of 52 Ave. and continue west throughout the summer until it is completed.

Construction on 52 Ave. will pause during Ponoka Stampede week.
