May 15, 2020 | 7:41 AM

LETHBRIDGE, AB – The City of Lethbridge is starting its paved back lane rehabilitation program.

It’s designed to address paved back lanes that have deteriorated and need reconstruction.

13 different paved lanes will be rebuilt over the next several months. The City says letters will be sent to each home directly impacted by this work.

The notices will provide detailed information regarding lane and garage access as well as waste and recycling changes during the construction process.

At each rehabilitation location, crews will remove the existing lane material, rework the lane grades, reconstruct the surface and in some locations, adjustment or extension of the storm sewer system may be required.

To make sure the work can be done safely amid the on-going novel coronavirus pandemic, the construction contractor has provided the City of Lethbridge with protocols in alignment with the Alberta Construction Association’s COVID-19 guidelines.

There are currently 150 kilometres of paved back lanes across Lethbridge. The City noted that the rehabilitation program is funded through the Capital Improvement Program.
