Mid-March to summer 2025
Sidewalks/walkways
Pedestrians will be detoured along the west side of the construction site via a temporary walkway.
Working hours
Typical hours of work will be from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday. If required, these hours may be extended, and construction may occur on Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. During tunneling, the tunnel boring machine will be running 24/7.
Haul route
Two haul routes from the site may be utilized in order to avoid traveling on 98 Street in front of Mill Creek School. For the main haul route, trucks will proceed north on 96 Street to 82 Avenue. In the event that this route cannot be accessed, trucks will proceed south toward 63 Avenue.
While the haul route will see increased activity due to construction, the routes will remain open to regular traffic. There may be intermittent road closures near the worksite while crews are moving equipment and materials.
Due to the proximity to Mill Creek School, no tandem trucks will travel to and from site on weekdays during school drop-off (between 8:00 a.m. 9:00 a.m.), or school pick-up (2:45 p.m. and 3:45 p.m., including Thursday early dismissal from 1:45 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.).
School soccer field
The soccer field goal posts will be moved further west to accommodate the site’s laydown area and allow for the continued use of the soccer field. The site will also be fenced and will use site hoarding material to block visibility and deter activity around the site.
Once construction is complete, the soccer goal posts will be moved back to their original location.
Tree trimming, removal and replacement
Several trees along the fence line on the west side of 97 Street, between 79 Avenue and 80 Avenue next to Mill Creek School, have been removed.
Once construction is complete, the City of Edmonton Urban Forestry department will determine the number of trees to be replaced and the replacement locations.
