Infrastructure Renewal Continues, 9th Ave SW Now Closed
Moose Jaw, SK – The City of Moose Jaw advises that Phase Nine of the Infrastructure Renewal Program is progressing, and crews have expanded closures this week in two separate areas of the city.
On Tuesday, the City’s contractors closed off a portion of 9th Avenue SW, spanning from north of the 9th Avenue and Coteau Street intersection all the way to Grandview Street, as work continues on Coteau Street from 9th Ave SW to 11th Avenue SW. While the intersection is closed, heavy haul trucks will be detoured to 32nd Avenue and alternate detours for light traffic will be in place.
Grace Street from Hawthorne Crescent to Thatcher Drive remains closed. Contractors are making progress, and this week closed Rorrison Avenue from Grace Street to Corman Crescent. Grace Street, east of the construction site, is open to local traffic only.
The City reminds residents in Zone 2 who are impacted by construction on Hawthorne Crescent, Corman Crescent, Pascoe Drive W, and Princess Crescent backing onto Thatcher Drive, that collection has moved to front street pick up for the duration of this project.
Transit service is impacted, and two stops will be closed during construction.
- Transit route #3 Athabasca West/Thatcher Drive will go to Grace Street, servicing the stops at Grace Street & 13th NW and Grace Street & Prince Charles Place.
- The route will continue to Gordon Road and 13th NW onto Princess Crescent proceeding to 13th Ave. NW, where it will return to the usual route.
The City of Moose Jaw reminds residents that all area businesses remain open during construction and access will be available via sidewalks and temporary walkways. Also, all work in these locations is dependent on favorable weather conditions.
