Shaw Crescent SE road rehab starts Aug. 10 in Medicine Hat
The City of Medicine Hat says the two-phase project will replace aging infrastructure in the South Ridge neighbourhood through October.
Why it matters
Residents and drivers in South Ridge should expect detours and restricted parking through mid-October.
Construction on Shaw Crescent SE in Medicine Hat's South Ridge neighbourhood begins Monday, Aug. 10, as part of the city's ongoing effort to upgrade aging road infrastructure. The project includes replacing the road structure, repaving, upgrading stormwater infrastructure, and replacing sections of sidewalk, curb and gutter.
Work will proceed in two phases to limit disruption. Phase one covers the western section of Shaw Crescent SE near South Ridge Community Park, including the intersection at Stapeford Crescent SE and the western intersection of Sharpe Crescent SE, running from Aug. 10 to Sept. 10, weather permitting.
Phase two will address the southern section of Shaw Crescent SE, including the southern intersection of Sharpe Crescent SE, from Sept. 10 to Oct. 10. Parking access will be restricted during this stage, with alternative arrangements offered to affected residents.
The city says detours will be in place throughout construction with no through traffic allowed, though local traffic and emergency services will retain access to nearby properties. Drivers are asked to follow construction signage, temporary speed limits and flag personnel directions.
