Moose Jaw, SK – The City of Moose Jaw advises that the 2^nd Avenue NE and Manitoba Street E signalized intersection upgrade will temporarily impact traffic starting August 25, 2025.

Can-Traffic Services Ltd., a contractor for the City’s Engineering Services Department, will be constructing new traffic lights and southside concrete pedestrian islands. This includes installing a new traffic cabinet, signals, streetlights, concrete/asphalt removal and replacement, line painting and restoration. The work is expected to wrap up by September 30^th, weather permitting.

Northbound traffic will remain unaffected and continue as normal. To facilitate the work, eastbound and westbound traffic on Manitoba Street E will be reduced to a single lane within the northside lanes and southbound traffic at the 2^nd Avenue NE to Manitoba Street East will be completely blocked.

Drivers should expect delays and are reminded to obey all temporary traffic signage and exercise caution in construction zones to keep everyone safe. No more #NotoriouslyClose calls.

The City seeks to update and create more efficient signalized traffic light controller programming and address increasing traffic volumes and demands. Applied budget is focused on replacing aged traffic control infrastructure, as well as physical intersection redesign to allow for more efficient vehicular and pedestrian movement.

The 2^nd Avenue NE and Manitoba Street E signalized intersection was recommended for full replacement during the Traffic Signal Equipment Review in the 2024 Transportation Master Plan as significant improvements can be made to improve vehicular and pedestrian safety.
