Gas line replacement

Sep 3, 2022 | 3:25 PM

MEDICINE HAT, AB – Beginning next week a small portion of Southview Drive SE between Dunmore Road and 13th Avenue will be closed for crews to replace a low-pressure gas line in the Norwood area.

The closure will take effect Sept. 6 and is expected to last about four to six weeks.

Underground gas piping in yards, lanes and streets will be replaced to maintain reliable natural gas service in the area, as well as repair all streets, lanes, concrete and asphalt areas disturbed by the installation, says the City of Medicine Hat.

The bulk of the work, including excavation in streets and back lanes, occurs on local roads where residents and businesses have been personally notified. Part of the work will take place on the high-traffic collector on Southview Drive, affecting more of the public, and necessitating using Park Meadows Drive.

Motorists are able to access all businesses along Southview Drive as follows:
