ROADS DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION UPDATE - JULY 2013

DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC DISRUPTIONS

As downtown Edmonton continues to grow and revitalize, significant construction continues, and with it associated

traffic impacts. The City plans and stages construction projects to sustainably support downtown revitalization while

managing traffic disruptions as efficiently as possible. The City is also responsible for managing and accommodating

other various road disruptions such as private development, emergency utility repairs, planned events and festivals

Transportation Services makes every effort to limit the impact to traffic, however it cannot always anticipate where

and when emergency repairs or other unforeseen roadway incidents, such as vehicle collisions, may require additional

road closures. As such, there will sometimes be higher congestion levels into and out of downtown during construction

season.

WEATHER IMPACTS

Despite a rainy June, poor weather will have little impact on most road project schedules. The longest delays in City

road construction are on projects where excavation is ongoing due to the time required to dry out the site before work

can continue. Fortunately, grind and pave locations can continue shortly after rainfall as their work surfaces dry more

quickly.

The Citys priority when dealing with inclement weather is to make certain that work is completed to standard.

This ensures durability, longevity and safety for road users. While completing a project on time is important, it is a

secondary consideration to having work done properly the first time.

The City reminds drivers to respect barricades even in poor weather conditions, as work may be ongoing and hazards

present despite workers not being visible on site.
