As crews continue to make progress on the 19 Street Improvements Project, they are informing drivers of upcoming traffic disruptions that will take place in early September.

On September 3, 4, 8, 9 and 10 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. traffic will be detoured to one-lane in each direction and all intersections on 19 Street between Irwin Avenue and Gaetz Avenue will be right-in and right-out only to keep traffic flowing through the area Sharpe Avenue access will be controlled by flagpeople and left turns will be permitted. During evening hours, all intersections will revert to all turns.

On Sunday, September 8, the eastbound lanes will be swept and oiled and paving will begin on the eastbound lanes on Monday, September 9. For the final time during this project, the intersections on 19 Street between Irwin Avenue and Gaetz Avenue will be right-in and right-out only until the paving is complete. The intersections of 46 Avenue and 19 Street and 49 Avenue and 19 Street will be closed for up to three hours during this work; however, they will be closed at separate times and access to businesses on 49 Avenue will be maintained throughout this work.

On September 6, 7, 10 and 11, there will be intermittent lane closures as line painting takes place. Drivers are reminded to slow down in construction zones and obey all signs. Updates on the 19 Street Improvement Project can be found at RedDeer.ca/19Street.
