York Road/Dracup Intersection ClosureClosure expected until end of August.

Several projects to improve Yorkton’s streets, water, sewer and storm systems will soon be underway in the City. This means a number of road closures and detours throughout the summer and fall to enable these necessary upgrades to our infrastructure.

The fi rst project began July 29th at the York Road and Dracup Avenue intersection, where some of the city’s oldest storm and sewer infrastructure is located. This intersection will be closed for up to four weeks. Signage will divert traffi c along Highway 9 to Queen Street.

From Queen Street the detour will be to Highway 10 north, then west on Highway 52 to the 52A Connector Route north to Highway 16.

Also, there will soon be construction along Dracup Avenue and Darlington Street, and later in the summer at the Hamilton Road/Highway 9 intersection. We ask residents to please watch for further notices, obey all signage and be safe in construction zones.
