Overview
During the summer of 2024, Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors will begin repair work on the bridge over Meeting Creek on Highway 53 near the Village of Donalda.
Due to the nature of the structural repairs, wide loads will not be accommodated through the construction zone across the bridge. This includes farm equipment, implements, tractors and semi trucks and trailers.
Any loads greater than 3.5m will need to find an alternate route. The lane restrictions will be in place 7 days a week, 24 hours a day
Construction is expected to begin June 2024 with an anticipated completion date of late October 2024,weather permitting . Work on site is expected to take place Monday to Friday between the hours of 7 am to 7pm. Lane restrictions will be in place 7 days a week.
Construction includes concrete deck overlay, concrete repairs, painting of the steel piles, asphalt paving and other minor repairs. .
Traffic Impacts
As with any construction project, travelers may experience speed reductions, lane closures and minor delays. Signage with additional information on construction timing will be posted on site a week before construction begins. A single 3.5 m lane with alternating traffic controlled by traffic lights, will be maintained through the construction zone. No detours are anticipated. A traffic accommodation strategy is in place to mitigate the impacts to travelers. This includes additional signage, delineation, and if required, illumination.
Please watch for all and obey all construction zone signage. For up to date information on this project, please call 5-1-1 toll free or visit 511.alberta.ca
