REGINA — Regina’s North Central Drainage Upgrade project is entering its third and final year.
Work on the final portion of the $15 million drainage improvement project begins this week in the North Central community.
“The North Central Drainage Upgrade project replaces aging infrastructure to reduce the risk of basement and street flooding to over 450 homes within the neighbourhood,” said Kim Onrait, executive director of citizen services, in a statement. “Over the course of this major project, 24 blocks have been impacted. We thank residents for their co-operation and understanding as crews complete this important work.”
Crews will remove asphalt and sidewalks, dig a trench in the road to remove the existing stormsewer mains, install new pipes and water service connections, repave the road and repair curbs, gutters and impacted portions of private yards.
This year’s work will be done in two phases.
Phase One is in the western portion of the project area, between Argyle Street and Wascana Street. Phase Two is in the southeastern portion of the project area, between 2nd Avenue and 5th Avenue. The city will advise residents of each phase, along with necessary closures and restrictions.
The city stated the work is weather dependent and is expected to be completed by the end of this construction season.
