Road rehabilitation work continues next week in Medicine Hat’s South Ridge neighbourhood with another project.

The City of Medicine Hat says construction on Shaw Crescent SE will start Monday, Aug. 10, as part of ongoing efforts to upgrade aging road infrastructure in the area.

The project will include replacing the existing road structure, repaving the roadway, upgrading stormwater infrastructure and replacing sections of sidewalk, curb and gutter.

The work will be completed in two phases to help reduce impacts on motorists and nearby residents.

The first phase will focus on 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. That phase is expected to run from Aug. 10 to Sept. 10, weather permitting.

The second phase will cover the southern section of Shaw Crescent SE, including the southern intersection of Sharpe Crescent SE.

Parking access will be restricted during this stage, with alternative arrangements provided to affected residents.

That phase is scheduled to run from Sept. 10 to Oct. 10, weather permitting.

The city says detours will be in place throughout construction, with no through traffic allowed.

Local traffic and emergency services will still have access to nearby properties.

Motorists are reminded to follow construction signage, temporary speed limits and directions from flag personnel while crews are working in the area.
